I can't remove it.
Is there a trick?
Unfortunately, I have no ideas on that. I've never dealt with a FH-M730 nutted, so I don't know any special tricks for its rather unusual locknuts.

If I recall correctly, yes - Shimano 6-speed Uniglide and 7-speed Uniglide used the same length freehub and will take either a 6- or 7-speed Uniglide cassette.
But also if I recall correctly, Shimano 7-speed hadn't yet been released for Deore when this hub was first produced by Shimano (I believe that happened the next year). That's IMO probably why the EVs refer to it as a 6-speed hub.
