Warning
At the moment, only public access to the share is supported. That means everyone who has network access to the server where this smb share is located will be able to access data on the share. To make access to the share more secure, use “Limit to possible list?” option as well as configure “Hosts to allow” and “Hosts to deny” with appropriate values.
Click “Save” button at the bottom of the frame when you are done with configuration, then click “Return to share list” at the bottom of “Edit File Share” page.

To delete the share open the File Shares list and mark the share which you would like to delete.
Press “Delete Selected Shares” button.
Caution
Be careful with the delete operation as there will be no additional notice before the delete starts!

Review the share’s list and ensure that share was deleted successfully.
Done!
