Removing Users

You can remove any user except the guest user.
If you remove a user who is currently connected to the storage system, that user remains connected until
the user disconnects from the shared folder or shuts down the computer.
Caution: When you remove a Windows/Mac OS X user, the folder whose name matches that user
name is automatically deleted. If you're removing the user simply to change the person's user
name, you might want to have the user copy any data from this folder to another location to
ensure that it is not lost.
To remove a user:
1. In the navigation bar, click Users.
2. Select the radio button next to the user that you want to remove.
3. Click Remove.
4. When prompted to confirm the removal, click Yes.

disconnect the user.
