[Samba] How to delete NON-EMPTY directories through a Samba share?
Hi all, I have setup a Samba server as file and print server. Everything works perfectly, I can print, I can write, delete files through Samba. But, the only thing that does not work is to delete a NON-EMPTY directory. No error message received, just don't want to delete it. As soon as I delete all files from the directory, then the directory can be deleted too. The problem is recursive for subdirectories. Just think how awful is to delete a directory with lots of subdirectories. I don't think it's a permission problem (it can't be) and I could't find any posts on this problem over the internet. Thanks for help, Sandor

most likely the rights ( owner ) of the folder is not the users u used to deleted. This is not but, just a rights problem.
