Removing folders that cannot be seen

I enabled AFP on my ReadyNAS Duo some time ago when I was playing around with a Mac from work.

I have turned it off, however now in my media folder, when streaming over DLNA, there are two extra folders - Temporary Items and Network Trash

As I cannot see them in Windows, I can not delete them

I was going to re-enable AFP, log on via a Mac and delete them but I cannot get access to a Mac very easily

Is there another way?

Re: Removing folders that cannot be seen

Those folders are used by the underlying Linux firmware - delete them and they will return. You are better off just ignoring them - perhaps Netgear will update ReadyDLNA to ignore these in future?

Else - you can delete them via another protocol: FTP or HTTP for example
