Share locked: unable to delete it
I have a share named "torrents". Under "/data/._share" folder it was named "Torrents". I wanted to clean old leftover shares under /data/._share I deleted from windows explorer the /data/._share/...
I think it is a good thing that these folders can be accessed from Windows, and I wouldn't want a bug "fix" that simply blocked that access.
- they were accessible from Windows only because you are using admin credentials.
- ._share is a hidden folder, which should have been a huge red flag.
Though I routinely use admin credentials from my various PCs, Netgear generally doesn't suggest it.
