- Hm-hm. I'm reposting the method that worked for me
- (and for schmiher@Informatik.TU-Muenchen.DE (Hermann Schmidt)),
- perhaps it'll work for you too.
-
- I succeeded getting rid of an undeletable object by:
-
- 1. Moving it onto A:\ by:
-
- a) Selecting it
-
- b) Selecting Move... from it's menu
-
- c) Selecting the Path (not drive) tab
-
- d) Entering A:\ (or just A: -- I can't remember)
-
- 2. Moving it to a subdirectory on A: the same way as above
-
- (I suspect this step was unnecessary)
-
- 3. Deleting that directory (I don't remember which way)
-
- Then it was gone which I verified by a Search.
- I think I also reformatted the disk and verified
- that there weren't any EAs left.
-
- Best wishes,
-
