@calender7 welcome to the Rockstor community.

can you also share what version of Rockstor you’re currently running?

when you do turn on the Samba service, does this show up as a samba export? I suspect, that even if the service is turned off, any existing (and not explicitly deleted) Samba exports are stored in the database, against which the share deletion checks, in this piece of code:

github.com

rockstor/rockstor-core/blob/4d60a2c683140aaa10a8e5b201157163cc9a898b/src/rockstor/storageadmin/views/share.py#L347-L352


      
          if SambaShare.objects.filter(share=share).exists():
              e_msg = (
                  "Share ({}) cannot be deleted as it is shared via "
                  "Samba. Unshare and try again."
              ).format(share.name)
              handle_exception(Exception(e_msg), request)
