sorry, NOT root, but my "/tmp/" folder ( /tmp/ folder off the
root).

I am obviously missing something ...

if I strqsh and run

find /home -type f

I see a long list of files

But if I do the same on

find /var/tmp -type f

I see nothing

Or just

find /var/tmp

I still see nothing

But there are thousands of files in /var/tmp

Example

Object link Type
QACXAAJG80 STMF
QACXAAKPCF STMF
QACXAALWZ5 STMF
QACXAAM1LV STMF
QACXAAM3B3 STMF

I actually want to delete these but the delete was not working using the
find command so I was trying to determine why and then found that the
files were not being selected.

I can manually delete a single file from wrklnk.

Can anyone suggest what I am missing please.

Thanks

Don
