RE: Spool files that won't delete

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's normal.  Any printer/cancelled spool files for a job will show as
FIN as the job keeps track of all output.  When the job is completed,
and ALL output for the job is deleted (including the job log) the job
will disappear from your list of submitted jobs.
