- When you list the files is the 'd' flag set?
- A deletable file will list like this:
-
- Filename size----rwed Date created time created
-
- If the 'd' in the rwed is not there that would explain why it can't be
- deleted. try typing:
-
- protect path:filename +d
-
- And then try deleting it again.
- If that doesn't work, the only other thing I can think of is that there
- is an assign or path set to that directory/file. Hope this works!
