How to delete a volume invisible in GUI

[profwalken]

Hi,
I'm stuck with something about an old volume become impossible to delete because in GUI is no more visible but from a windows computer root folder and subfolders are always on the drive.
From windows I get insufficient rights to delete so how can I force this to be really deleted?

Thanks for advices

Under Sharing->Windows Shares, delete the share that's no longer attached to a dataset. Then restart the SMB service.

If you have a pool that was removed without being removed first in the GUI, you may have what I call a zombie pool:

Deleting a "Zombie Pool"

I recently created myself a "Zombie Pool" by yanking out a temporary USB disk I had attached to do a backup/restore, but hadn't exported from the GUI before destroying at the CLI. This results in the GUI thinking the pool still exists, but isn't currently available, so it remains in the list...

Thanks for answer, but my case is not an SMB share, the old folder was from a deleted dataset used by FTP

this is the name of the root folder dataset(invisible in TRUENAS GUI) , in which I have one subfolder from a deleted user fmcv

Do I need to try what Sretalla answer me about the zombie pool?

Yes, you do appear to have a zombie pool.

Well as a nonexpert I tried to follow the same process in CLI and got this:

What's wrong ?

Ok, we need to see what's happening here:

zfs list | grep supprimer

 

[profwalken]

is it possible i try this command:
zfs destroy supprimer/ .mnt/Stockage/Sauvegardes/supprimer

 

[profwalken]

Ok, we need to see what's happening here:

zfs list | grep supprimer

nothing is displayed after using this command

 

[sretalla]

OK, so what we're being told here is that you have a directory (which is not a dataset) located at /mnt/Stockage/Sauvegardes/supprimer

That directory is not empty.

You need to look at what's there:
ls -l /mnt/Stockage/Sauvegardes/supprimer

And decide if it's valuable to you... delete it if not rm -r /mnt/Stockage/Sauvegardes/supprimer
