PowerShell is one of the free command automation tools included with the Windows operating system. PowerShell is the best .NET framework-based scripting language, consisting of a diverse set of Command prompts that execute specific tasks. For the removal operation, it employs a file path. As a result, you may quickly delete directories, files, registry keys, variables, and shared folders by using the "Remove-Item" cmdlet. Here are the steps:
- Navigate to "Control Panel" - "Security" - "Shared Folders" - "Shared Folder".
- Remove the shared folders by selecting them.
- Select "Remove". And a warning notice is displayed.
- Optional: Select "Delete the data" (mounted ISO image files will not be deleted).
- Select "Yes".
You may also make extra storage space available on your Synology NAS equipment by eliminating data from shared folders. To find shared folders, enter the Control Panel and click Privilege Settings. Then, select Remove Data because the formerly secured Network Recycle Bin has been transformed into standard shared folders.
However, data loss problems happen every day. Most people complain that they accidentally deleted some data from the shared folder. If there isn't any data backup, they need help to get any tool that recovers deleted files.
Checking your antivirus, which protects your files from deletion, resetting your system, uninstalling some third-party software, and other fast fixes will help you remove undeletable files or shared folders.
Ensure the data you're about to delete is in the target folder or file before performing a force delete. If an issue occurs, immediately stop using your computer or external device and use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover your data.
