Hello everyone,
I had a huge bug. I accidentally deleted the contents of a shared folder. I realized it after 30 seconds and went to stop the task in Filestation.
The task disappeared, but the deletion continued.
Have you noticed this problem?
Thank you.

Have you created a support ticket with QNAP?
hello,
Yes, I created this post. I created a support ticket but haven’t heard anything back for a while.
We agree that we can stop a task in “filestation,” such as deleting, moving, etc.
Have you looked in the recycle bin?
Could you please provide your support ticket number?
We can also help check the status and assist you with the case. Thanks!
Confirmed! Our customer support team has already contacted you and scheduled a time for the remote session.
If you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to let us know. Thanks!
Hello,
There will be a remote takeover.
Thank you, but I answered my own question by doing a little research.
My company’s IT department advised me to remove the network recycle bin, which is completely crazy.
And another thing: when you start a deletion process, the server will complete the process. There is no way to stop it.
I foolishly thought that stopping the task in filestation would allow it to be stopped.
I’m curious to see what the changes in file station 6 are going to be? My TS-219PII is too old to try it and I don’t do beta software on my TVS-473e. I am going to buy an eight bay next year so the 473e will become second fiddle. The 219 will be retired. To my knowledge file station has always worked the same way across multiple models . Delete without the network recycled bin enabled means it’s gone.
If this is your NAS (and not your company’s), you should do what is right for you. I would never go w/o the recycle bin. And backups. If you do snapshots regularly you can easily recover those files if you do end up deleting stuff you shouldn’t. It has saved me more than once.
Not necessarily. There are legitimate reasons why a recycle bin can be bad and cause issues. If this is a corporate system, then corporate policies apply. It may be worth asking what the justification is in your use case.
If this was simply a “recommendation”, or it is your own system, then it is up to you to decide if there is space or it makes sense to enable it.
Personally, I question why anyone would use file station to begin with. I see no value in it personally and have never used it.
I use for one time copying from external media to internal disks (and vice versa), otherwise not much I can think of. Certainly a bad practice to have non admin users use it.
Glad to hear there is a point to the app 
I only move stuff directly via SSH for external media or copy / move via samba shares and have never liked web based file management.
File Station is quite useful.
You can view cloud services connected to your NAS via Hybrid Mount. You can access/view snapshots, etc. There’s a lot of times when I’m in the web interface doing something else and I need to see a file or folder structure, etc. It’s quicker just to use that then go to my computer OS and go through the files in SMB.
Yes, generally SMB or NFS access is much faster than File Station.
Fair enough, more “features” that I never use, but that’s just me.
Good to know there are other uses and it isn’t a complete waste of effort.
