Deleted Folder Keeps Coming Back

[boyett]

Hi, I'm a noob and I been using Freenas for more than a year and so far I didn't encounter any problem.
I need some help, it's not really a problem but it's annoying.
I created a folder before.
I tried to delete that folder now, the problem is it will keep coming back.
And I just noticed, there are hidden files(.cshrc, .login, .login_conf, .mail_aliases,
.mailrc, .profile, .rhosts, .shrc) inside that folder.
My noob question is how can I delete that folder so it won't come back and why that folder became like that?
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks

Looks like it is a home directory for some user. Go to GUI and check your users which one has it and change it. Or open CLI and do:

cat /etc/passwd | grep <name_of_the_mystery_directory>

Then delete that dir.

@HolyK
Thanks! :) You're right, it's a user's home directory.

I'm having the same issue, but it's not any user's home directory to my knowledge, just random movie folders and other folders I'm trying to delete when doing spring cleaning. I can delete them from terminal just fine, but when trying to delete via Windows logged into the CIFS share, they keep coming back after being deleted (I'm even logged in as root).

@joelmusicman: From Win try Shift+DEL and confirm.

Had the same problem. Tried to ignore it for a while, but started to drive me mad.

Tried all sorts of delete things.

Finally I renamed the file, rebooted, then deleted the file.
