Unraid Delete Share
Most applications running in Docker containers on Unraid will create a folder in your /mnt/user/appdata/ directory. These folders are then mapped as persistent volumes in the Docker container template. As the name persistent volume suggests, these folders aren’t deleted when you kill the app and remove its Docker container. Despite what you may think, this is a good thing and one of Docker’s advantages over traditional installation methods. It allows you to reinstall an application without loosing any of the settings you might have previously adjusted.
The downside of this approach is that when you are frequently testing different Docker containers or are yet undecided on what you want to run on your Unraid system, the directory can overflow with unused folders. To counteract this problem, you could, of course, manually delete the corresponding folder every time you remove a Docker container. Or, you could install the Appdata Cleanup plugin for Unraid and let it take care of the issue. This plugin can also help if your appdata folder is taking up too much space on your cache disk.
