Public bug reported: Using Lubuntu 18.04 LTS graphical file manager pcmanfm, can not delete a non-empty subdirectory on a remote Network Attached Storage samba smb shared folder. Lubuntu 16.04 LTS did not behave this way. With 18.04 LTS, must navigate through the entire directory structure, deleting files in each individual subdirectory. As a work-around, I found that I can delete a non-empty subdir on a NAS smb share from the Terminal command line using the "rm -rf" command.
I have confirmed that the same behavior exists in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using the nautilus file manager and also Ubuntu Mate 18.04 LTS using the caja file manager.
