Title: RE: Deleting odd stream files..

I have seen "garbage" files here in the root that you could not delete from the WRKLNK or from Ops Nav.   Nor could you reference directly with DEL.    I talked to IBM, tried a DEL /*.* and it worked.   Of course, make sure you do not have links (not directories, but links) that you want to keep.

DEL deletes links and not directories.    Practice on a sub directory to make sure you know what you are doing first.

P.S.  So whens the book gonna be out??

---------
\\filename.txt

It's a stream file, not a directory.  When you try and delete it, it errors
out.  I've tried the del command but can't get rid of it.

Tried del('/\\filename.txt') didn't work.  (This is what option 4 tries to
do).  tried a bunch of other stuff, no dice.

Any ideas?
