-
- Is it mentioned in the path, an assign or is an other program using it. These
- are to legid reasons not to delete a dir.
-
- FBH> I could of course rename the dir, and use it for something else. But
- FBH> because of this dir, I'm also prevented from deleting three other empty
- FBH> dirs, which this dir resides in (news/uunews/comp/sys)
-
- If it really doesn't work, try renaming it, and restarting the computer.
- Becames assign and path are made on name, this can then not be found and not be
- loacked kind of a bug in the OS ;-)
-
- FBH> It would be nice to be able to get rid of it without having to format
- FBH> the entire partition. :-)
-
- Don't worry be happy.
