SSH is likely not for you.

But the method here should be something you can handle:

You can do it globally via SSH with:

find . -iname 'thumbs.db' -exec rm -rfv {} +

That will delete thumbs.db in the current and all sub-directories.

ok, but every time i visit the directory, they are made again. Not all thumbs files are impossible to delete and i like to keep the thumbs, because they are usefull.
I had a thumbs file that i could not see in explorer, but still was there so i could not delete the dir. Renaming it on another computer(there it was again...) did it for me.
Thanks for your sollution, if in a next win10 update mine doesn't work anymore, ill try yours.

It's a way to access the linux command line interface in your ReadyNAS

As far as removing thumbs.db files goes, the best option is to tell Windows not to create them in the first place.
