- Sometimes you can create a file that is mishashed. You cannot do anything with
- it other than list it. You cannot read it, write to it, or erase it. If this is
- what happened to you DiskSalv or AmiBackTools is the quickest way to clear the
- situation.

- If it is simply a file with a wildcard in its name then it becomes fairly easy
- to delete it with the "delete #? opt i" command. (The "opt i" stands for "option
- interactive".)
