Just throwing this one out there to see if anyone else has come across it. We were having errors show that shares have gone missing. Looking in the event viewer on the server console you get:

Shares in registry

Yep, had that. It’s because shares are kept in the registry and if you just delete the folder without unsharing it first it gets confused. You need to remove the pointers.

Delete the share using ‘net share’, rather than doing it from the registry.
