RE: Unable to delete file from IFS

[MKirkpatrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks. 

I was able to delete this file: 
\\QNTC\WDSERVER2\FLASH\ORTHOFLASH\\flash_test.xls   (Remember, this is the 
file name, NOT the file name and directory)
using the following:   EDTF '\home\mkirkpat'  and selecting opt 4 to 
delete.
