Just tried the same... when I had anything in the qtree it did not delete it.

As soon as I deleted the content, I was able to delete.

In that case you can also connect to a share one level above the qtree (if you have one)

and delete it directly with the Windows Explorer or the Unix command. Will take the same time.

Deleting Qtree needs to follow the below steps:

1. First we have to delete all the contants of the corresponding Share Folder (Share folder should be empty, if you removed the share folder before deleting the contants please create it again and delete)

2. Remove the Share Folder

3. Remove the Quota, If any

4. Delete Qtree. Success...
