You don't need to. Follow these directions to reset the ownership and permissions to the correct values for a share in Share mode:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3795
and you should be able to delete the files and folders normally.
All I get when trying the link is: You are not authorised to read this forum. Whats the story.
Once again I can't delete files. It is soooooooooo frustrating. Its only with Netgear ReadyNAS's.......sorry but its true,
I don't have any issue with other brands and I have three brands in use (Qnap or Synology). Is this ever going to be resolved? I don;t believe it is a Microsoft issue. I have the same problem since over 5 years of use. NV+, NVX, Pro2, Pro4. One day its fine and the next doesn't work. Even when I reset the permissions, it works and then a week later it doesn't. I have to do over and over and over! Sorry, am really frustrated as am bored fixing it. I would have expected some solution by now for "The action cannot be completed as the folder or File is open in another application" Errors. It can't be open as I just turned the Nas on. Ug :evil:
