Folders not deleted on NAS

I'm using NAS ("Icy-Box"-NAS900 with SMB-Server) as target. When I delete folders on Source the synchronization fails to delete them on target. No Error-Message displayed. Summary shows that folders should have been deleted, but they aren't. Same procedure with data-files works perfectly. Any suggestions, why ViceVersa2_b2014 isn't able to delete folders on the NAS?

No error message in the profile log file? (you can setup a profile log in the profile settings -> execution)... does the log shows OK when trying to delete the folder on the NAS? thanks

The data-file (*.txt) has been deleted correctly, not so the empty folder (folder contains definitely no hidden files).

That is a strange issue that happens with some NAS devices (it happened to another ViceVersa user before, I do not recall which NAS). The NAS returns 'OK, I deleted the folder' but then the folder is not deleted, so no error message is shown! Confused

Not sure how to debug this one, we could send you a little custom made utility that tries to delete the folder in the same manner as ViceVersa PRO does....

Thanks for that explanation. Maybe some future firmware-update of the Icy-Box can solve the issue. Please send me the custom made utility to check it out.

Folders deleted correcty on the NAS up to version 2pro build 2011.

thanks! I will compare the source code to see what the difference is between the 2 versions.

I am having the same problem here.
My NAS is Conceptronic NAS CHD3NET updated with the last firmware.
VV reported in the log file that files / folders were deleted but did not.
Please help!
