Cannot delete selected folders from a Windows 11 client via SMB

[DThimsen]

I’m a relatively new TrueNAS user that started a few weeks ago testing a CORE 13.0 build, and then migrated to SCALE 24.10. I’ve been using the SMB shares without problems until this evening when I tried to delete a folder/subfolder tree through the Windows file manager. All the files got deleted but the not the folders. After poking around a bit, I looked at the file system using WinSCP and found that there was a hidden directory called .@__thumb that I believe contains thumbnails for the media content that had recently occupied the folder. I’m sure I can delete this by using the CLI interface or WinSCP, but is there any setup option I missed that would allow me to perform the deletes through Windows?

The user credentials used to connect to the SMB share has full control access.

Thanks,
Don

Discussion is here;

How do I DELETE a directory wheb I do not have that particular user anymore?

I successfully migrated my established POOL from an old (failing) home-brew platform to a new TrueNAS CORE Mini. There are 2 sub directories created by Microsoft Backup application- and I would like to DELETE them both. Since they were created on my old Truenas platform, and by a user ID other than me- they refuse to allow me to delete them. I operate my NAS here in my own home on my own LAN, and I would like to be able to use SUDO commands to delete these large sub directories.
