How do I delete files? <Solved>

I've got a fresh new install of Greyhole on Amahi 7.1.1-1 with populated share

However if I delete a file (from command-line with rm -rf <filename/path> or from a windows computer on samba shares) out of a share (specifically /var/hda/files/books/<file name> and 24-48 hours later the file is back in /var/hda/files/books/.

Also the file remains on the physical greyhole disks (as evidenced by going to /var/hda/files/drives/drive(1-9)/gh/Books

How do I go about delete the file not just from the greyhole files directory but also remove the copies on the physical drives?

If you delete from command line, you need to have mount_shares_locally running or you may have issues.

Check the ownership permissions on your share folders. They should be set to 1st admin user:users. Best to delete from Windows if you can via File Explorer.

Not sure why the files would return. When you delete them via Windows, they should be moved to the Greyhole Attic. You then need to empty that periodically or it will fill up your drive. I do mine daily.

Recommend you check your /etc/greyhole.conf file to ensure you have all the settings correct. Should only change what the wiki guidance instructed to be safe.

Where is the program mount_shares_locally located? I see nothing related to it in any of the documentation.

Only changed in /etc/greyhole.conf was what the wiki said

Probably because I had been using Greyhole on Amahi 6 and got over confident LOL sorry for being the dumb newb

Heheeheheh. No worries.

I added a reminder on the Amahi 7 page near to top for users to check out the Greyhole wiki page, especially for working with shares locally on the HDA.

I thought it was probably a good idea to emphasize it
