Stuck with undeletable Thumbs.db files in your NAS?
1st: Turn off Thumbnail creation within your Windows Explorer:
- Win 7:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\ - Win 8:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\
Set or create and set the DWORD „DisableThumbsDBOnNetworkFolders“ to „1“
2nd: Delete all Thumbs.db from your NAS:
- SSH into your NAS
- navigate into folder you want to delete (i.e. /volume1)
- run the following command which will delete all Thumbs.db without further questions: find . -name „Thumbs.db“ -print |while read FILENAME; do rm „${FILENAME}“; done
- (Optional) When you’re on it, consider doing the same with Desktop.ini
