- I don't know how, but I have on my hard disk a file that is named ".."
- The problem is that it seems that it's impossible to delete!! I've tried
- with the SHELL, with Directory Opus 4, DOpus 5 and the Workbench.. NOTHING!!
-
- How can I delete this damned file from my hard disk???
-
- You probably have UnixDirs or some other commodity to enable . and .. to work
- as on a unix system
-
- If you've got UnixDirs use exchange to disable at the time you want to delete
- your file.
