ReadyNAS 214 Won't Delete Shares
I've deleted shares before, but when I follow the instructions here
https://kb.netgear.com/23408/How-do-I-delete-snapshots-on-my-ReadyNAS-OS-6-storage-system
Right clicking on the shares I want to delete does nothing. I tried both Firefox and Chrome with no luck. If I make snapshots visible, then delete the snapshots in Windows Explorer, does that delete the files in the snapshot or just the snapshots?
My system is running firmware 6.6.1

I was able to delete some, but I had to select multiple snapshots before the right click menu would come up and it only came up with one selection: Delete. Nothing happens when I right click with only one selected.

I don't see how this will help, but here are some screen shots. I also discovered the Refresh button on the System screen doesn't work either.
I call up this screen select a Snapshot and when I right clcik on it, nothing happens. The cursor turns into a hand when hovering over the Snapshot. If I select multiple Snapshots, a right click will bring up a menu with only the Delete selection.

Re: ReadyNAS 214 Won't Delete Shares
Do you want to delete shares or snapshots? You've said you can't delete shares, then have gone to the place to delete snapshots.
You are correct that that method of deleting an individual snapshot does not work. I don't know if it ever did. You get to what should be the same menu by right-clicking on a share in the Shares tab and selecting "Recover". But it works from there. You will also see the option to delete the share itself when you right-click on the Shares tab.

Re: ReadyNAS 214 Won't Delete Shares
Sorry, I mistyped share instead of snapshot in the original post. The instructions you give in the link in the original post is wrong then. The last time I deleted snapshots, I followed that procedure. Has it been disabled in a recent version of the firmware?
I am not having problems deleting shares, the problem is deleting snapshots.

No, my instructions are not wrong. Did you try it? Right-click on a share in the Share listing and choose "Recover". It opens what looks like the same pop-up as using the "snapshots" button, but everything works on it. I also said that you could also delete a share there if that was what you really meant (though it seemed like you didn't).

Re: ReadyNAS 214 Won't Delete Shares
OK, you're right, that did work, but the interface is very confusing.
If you right click on a share and select Recover, it brings up the Snapshot screen and the right click menu works. If you click on the Snapshot button in the upper right, you get the exact same screen, but the right click menu doesn't work. I would call that a UI bug.

Re: ReadyNAS 214 Won't Delete Shares
Personally, I dislike the X button in top right corner. Because all other pop-ups use a Close button at the bottom, not an X button in the corner. I think it's the only pop-up that does that.

Re: ReadyNAS 214 Won't Delete Shares
I agree there too. I didn't think to click on "Recover" when trying to delete snapshots because that was the opposite of what I wanted to do.
