I can now SSH to NAS 6.10.1, but the commands from: @johncove 

 

This will delete all the Apple crud:-

find . -name "_*" -type f -delete 

 

This will remove the Apple crud directories in question:-

rm -rd .AppleDB

 dont seems to work.

 

I have not much experience in SSH commands, but can i get help to do the correct command to delte .AppleDB + recurring subfolders and files?

 

I run ReadyNAS OS6.10.1

 

 

And, is there a way to run the command to list possible deleted files without delte, a switch of some kinde like "/ListNotDelete"

 

Thanks up front!

The find command listed without the -delete at the end will just list the files.  I own no Apple products, nor do I know where you got that recommended command, so can't tell you anything about why it's not working, unless it's just not finding anything.
