The folder has been deleted now.

Once the balance I am running has completed please run another from the UI, by oging to System > Volumes, selecting the volume and choosing balance.

Once that is done, I would run a defrag.

Best not to fill the volume to more than 80-85%.

I would recommend scheduling a balance every few weeks or so. I would also schedule a defrag.

Do you have a user called Backup?

That is a private home share.

O.K.

 

Turns out that was not a home folder. Your data volume being so full could have been a factor.

Did you try logging in via SMB as the admin user? You could have tried deleting the folder using that seeing it was just a folder not a share.

 

I used SSH and the rm command.
