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?
