Synology NAS - move files from Shared Folder to iSCSI LUN then delete Shared Folder

Have a Synology DS1815 with (4) 10TB Disks and 1 Volume as shown:

I currently have a Shared Folder setup to store backups of some Server data as shown:

What I'd like to do is:
> Create an iSCSI LUN, thin-provisioned, that would have a maximum size of all available space (about 26TB)
> Copy all the files from the Shared Folder to the new LUN
> Delete the Shared Folder

Since Volume 1 is currently using 8.8TB and has 17.38TB free, it seems like this should work fine. But, since I'm not all that familiar with how NAS storage works just want to make sure I'm not missing something...

That should work without any issues.

Thanks ArneLovius.

Curious... Once I remove the Shared Folder, does that make the entire Volume 1 available to the LUN?
