Appdata, isos, system and domains are the only things on the Cache drive, mover has been run and there is nothing on the cache drive that shouldn’t be. I only have 1 docker installed currently (plex) and no VMs or ISOs downloaded or(no VMs). I have tried to delete old files that docker apps left behind, but some of the folders won’t delete. ( I also have a share thsts empty but there are folders I can’t delete (no files in them that I can see) and therfor can’t remove the share)

I’m at a point where I want to restart my server from scratch, but don’t want to loose the data on the drives in the array, can this be done? And if so, how?

    Has this actually caused any problems? You have plenty of space on the cache drive so I’m not sure why it’s such a concern.

      It turns out, its not a problem, its Plex, the problem I currently have, is that I have a share I want to remove, but I can’t, as its not empty. But when I access the share and try to delete seemingly empty folders, I can’t, and I therefore can’t remove the share.

        Do you have thumbnail generation turned on (like fribbtastic mentioned)? That could be a reason why.

        In the web interface, click the “>_” icon in the top right to open the terminal. Then type du -sh /mnt/user/appdata and post the results here

      This is the most likely culprit. My cache has about 200 GB and Plex is just over 75 GB.

      Another thing to check is your vDisk size in your docker settings.
