I'm uncertain as to what you mean by "the share's forum", but it sounds to me like you've created a shared directory under Samba and are wanting to remove that folder from the share list. If this is correct, then follow this procedure

In a terminal, type:
$ gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

Scroll towards the bottom and you will see a section that looks similar to this:
[Share name]
writable = yes
path = /path/to/directory
public = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
guest account = nobody
browsable = yes

Delete all of these lines, and hit save.
Go back to your terminal and type:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

The folder should no longer be accessible from other machines.

Can you help with this problem?
