Hello everyone, I have an issue, one of my folders got corrupted somehow, I don't really mind, I have recreated it, but now I can't delete the corrupted folder and it has a weird name on it. Does anyone have any idea what I can do? Thank you in advance!

There exists characters in the folder name that are not supported. You can get around this by being keen what you name your files and folders, or enable the "Apple-style Character Encoding" in the Share's settings on TrueNAS. (Do note the caveats and implications.)

As for why you can't delete the folder, perhaps a permissions issue?

So that didn't use to be the name of that folder, it was working fine, then suddenly it was renamed to that and it stopped working.

As for permissions, TrueNAS is linked to my AD, in which my account is Administrator.

I would recommend you login to the NAS directly, either using the GUI shell or an SSH window, then manually delete the offending directory vice using Windows Explorer.

That worked, weird in the CLI it was still showing with the correct name. Thank you for your help!
