This is a "known issue" of the current release.
Samba drives reports themselves as NTFS but doesn't correctly support al of the NTFS features (NTFS stream AFAIK).

You can try to close TC and reopen it and delete the folder without opening it.

09.11.02 Fixed: Copying files to SAMBA dirs made it impossible to delete them (Reason: Samba reports NTFS file system, but NTFS stream functions fail!)

Thx

If anyone still has this problem, please let me know! There is an additional workaround now to turn off copying of additional streams completely, just in case...

Hi,

Recently I discovered that the Samba delete problem also occurs during deleting files on a CD-R when packet writing is enabled (i.e. with RSJ or InCD).

When I select all dirs in the root directory of the CD and press delete, the content of the dirs and subdirs isn't deleted! I have to open every single dir and delete the files then, deleting in dirs just doesn't seem to work.

Any idea why this happens?

I recommend that you don't use TC with InCD - this driver is extremely buggy. Try overwriting some files on a CD-RW, the results will probably not be identical to the originals on your harddisk.

In fact the one I do use is RSJ, and I've never had any problems with it except the described delete problem. Is it possible that the RSJ CD file structure is so exceptional that this problem occurs? btw, Every version of Total Commander has had the problem.

The problem is that these device drivers are only tested with Explorer - anything can happen when they are used with other programs like TC. Writing a file system driver is extremely complex, only a few people worldwide are able to do it correctly.
