Are there likely to be residual
Great! Many, many thanks, StephenB.
I had tried rm -rf Backups_Weekly_of_212/.snapshots but it did not work.
Is btrfs subvol delete .. the proper way to delete shares in /data in ssh?
Are there likely to be residual config files that need cleaning up?

The proper way is to delete them from the admin web ui of course. But in your case that didn't properly complete.
Each share is set up as it's own subvolume, so if you do need to delete them manually you should be using the BTRFS tools and not normal shell tools like rm.

Thanks StephenB.
Do you know all this about the NAS file structure through a manual, just analyzing the NAS or what? There are quite a few things that would be very useful to know - even though ssh is not supported and mistakes could brick the unit. For example, getting the BIOS settings - it would be very useful to see if there is an option to 'remember last state' if power fails (as the 212 [ARM?] does).

Most of what I've learned comes from posts I've seen here (some from other blogs).
I've never researched bios settings - I've just gone with the Netgear defaults on them.
