Problem deleting albums

Posted by: heihei on 10 December 2014

I recently ripped a brand-new album but my Unitiserve was unable to find meta-data. I therefore deleted the album on my NAS, and a few days later re-ripped the CD and hey presto, the meta-data was there. The trouble is, so is the old album in ghost form - I can't play any music but both my Unitiserve and NDS still think it's there.

 

Any ideas of how to get rid of it?

Your NAS probably has a recycle bin which you need to empty as well. What make is your NAS?

Yep, the Unitiserve doesn't think data is deleted until it has been removed from the Recycle Bin.

Its a Netgear ReadyNAS and the trash bin is not enabled on any of the shares, so unless there is another way it stores deleted files, I don't think this is the problem.

 

Any other ideas?

Have you tried re-starting your NAS? I run Asset on a Raspberry Pi and if I delete something it appears to still be there until I get Asset to rescan the folders although I don't usually bother as I use cron to reboot at 3am every day but that's another story. I suspect your NAS has cached it's index.

I think you will find the Netgear NAS needs the recycle bin to be enabled. I would check how to do that in the op manual or Netgear ReadyNAS www

The UnitiServe doesn't use any form of recycle bin on the NAS, it simply renames the files to 'TrackName.delete' instead of 'TrackName.WAV'. You need to empty the recycle bin on the Serve itself, in DTC go into tools>recycle bin and empty it.
