In this article, we will delve into the reasons behind this problem and provide you with several solutions to overcome it. Let’s get started.

Understanding the Issue

Before we dive into the solutions, it’s essential to understand why you might be unable to delete files with Krusader on your Unraid NAS. Here are a few common reasons:

Checking File Permissions

One of the most common reasons for being unable to delete files with Krusader is file permissions. To check and modify file permissions, follow these steps:

1. Open Krusader and navigate to the folder containing the file you want to delete.
2. Right-click on the file and select “Properties” or “Permissions” (the exact option may vary depending on your version of Krusader).
3. In the permissions window, ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete the file. If not, you can add or modify permissions for your user account.
4. Save the changes and try deleting the file again.

Checking for File Locks

Another reason for the inability to delete files with Krusader is file locks. Here’s how to check for and resolve file locks:

1. Open the command prompt on your computer.
2. Use the “netstat” command to check for any processes that might be locking the file. For example, type “netstat -ano | findstr :8080” if you suspect the file is locked by the Unraid web interface.
3. Once you identify the process, you can terminate it using the “taskkill” command. For example, “taskkill /f /im process_name.exe” (replace “process_name.exe” with the actual process name).
4. After terminating the process, try deleting the file again with Krusader.
