Today I upgraded from firmware 3.3.7 to 3.4.2 and found that when I delete a music album in the Sense App, if the music files are located on a remote NAS, in addition to deleting the music metadata information on the local Zenith ng server, it also actually deletes the real music files on the remote NAS. Fortunately, I have a backup of the music files on the NAS on another hard drive. In version 3.3.7, it only deleted the local metadata information on the music server. I don't know if this is a bug or a deliberately added feature. Personally, I think keeping the NAS music files is a more flexible option.
Question about album deletion after upgrading to 3.4.2?

Solution
I am not sure which update it went into effect but yes, actually it always meant to delete files from the NAS in the first place because if you remove Sense library only, then every time you did a rescan on the NAS folder then that deleted music would just come back again.
The idea here was especially after PULSE series came out, that users would want to manage the contents on the NAS more directly via Sense, rather than have to do that separately via a PC.
Perhaps the solution here is that if there is music you want to remove from Sense but not actually delete it completely, then remove it from the NAS folder manually and put it into a separate folder on the NAS that is not being indexed by Sense.
