The operation can't be completed because the original item for "admin" can't be found

When I access the admin folder from another computer (logged in as admin) and I try to open it, I get the message :

 

          The operation can't be completed because the original item for "admin" can't be found.

 

How do I fix this?

 

I am using a ReadyNAS 104 running firmware 6.4.1

    Do you have a backup?

    Is this trying to access the local web admin page or something else?

  • This is trying to access the folders the file manager in Windows 10.

    I do not have a backup (it has taken me two weeks to get it to this stage).

      Are you logging in as the "admin" user?

      Is the PC in the same workgroup as the NAS?

  • I can access it through the admin page by this error is occurring when I try to access the folders through the file manager.

    Yes I am in the same workgroup.

      Hello pforkes,

       

      May I ask if you can access this folder on another computer that is not running on Win10?

       

      What exactly is this folder you are accessing? Is this one of the default ones or you added this folder? Try resetting permission, this might help.
