In Windows, you can unshare as well as delete. I think bucky was thinking that removing the share from dashboard was the same as windows unshare - when of course it is really the same as delete.

“Basically each share is a separate folder in NAS file system, you delete folder, you delete its contents”…..understand…however unintuitive it is!
Shouldnt be, as Samba generally works this way, regardless of platform. (Windows included) :roll:
Only thing is, dont mix server with client, if you delete share (not contents) on client PC, data wil remain intact, if you delete it on server, it will get actually deleted.
