Sure, as long as they are empty.

What if they aren't empty, do I then have to do it from the CLI?

Yes

Would it be too difficult to add this functionality to a future release of unRAID? I realize it's a little dangerous and perhaps that would be why people would be against the idea, but for those of us not comfortable/familiar with the CLI its chore to have to delete a share from the command prompt.

Shares are just all root folders, just enable disk shares, browse each disk trough the network and delete the folders you no longer want.

Pretty much you only need to do this at the command prompt (or disk by disk as @johnnie.black  suggests) if there are permission issues or hidden files.  99% of the time, you can just go to the share over the network and delete all the files from there.  No need to hit the command prompt or disk by disk...

 

Alternatively, the Krusader / Dolphin apps will also have no trouble ever deleting a share regardless of permissions.
