Hi Michael The problem was resolved, actually there was no problem with samba The problem was with my Windows Commander 5.11. It just cant delete non-empty directories over samba. But Windows Explorer can do that. So I'm happy. Maybe newer versions of Windows Commanders (Total Commander) can do that.
