How to abort Resume Copy and DELETE Copied Files on Ventura

I tried to copy a bunch of files from my hard drive to a NAS and one folder in particular keeps giving me issues. It stopped copying around 90% and resuming it doesn't do anything. I tried wiping the NAS, repairing the hard drive, and trying the transfer again, and it still didn't copy all the way.


I'd like to delete the copied folder entirely from the NAS, but I get an error when I try to move it to trash.


When I follow the instructions on this thread, the resumable folder isn't actually gone

And I get messages like this in Terminal

[username]@[names]-MacBook-Pro ~ % sudo rm -r -f /Volumes/Public/LaCie/Pictures 
Password:
rm: /Volumes/Public/LaCie/Pictures/Screenshots/2016/.wdmc: Permission denied
rm: /Volumes/Public/LaCie/Pictures/Screenshots/2016: Invalid argument
rm: /Volumes/Public/LaCie/Pictures/Screenshots/2009: Invalid argument
rm: /Volumes/Public/LaCie/Pictures/Screenshots: Directory not empty
rm: /Volumes/Public/LaCie/Pictures: Directory not empty

I've tried it a few times and each time the folders throwing up these messages are different.


Please just let me delete this folder! I don't even care to keep a copy of it anymore. I just want the space back on my NAS.

Have you tried without using "sudo"? If this is an SMB network share, then by using "sudo" you are changing the user accessing the content which has no permissions to access that content on that system. I've never really considered this scenario before.


Does this NAS allow you to administer it remotely? Is there any option in the NAS interface to manage these shares & files? Or can you "ssh" into this NAS to become a local admin user on the NAS so you can delete these items as a user on the NAS instead of through a remote share?
