Re: Delete IFS directories

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That should work but might be relatively slow, because NetServer can be 
very stodgy. Another option is to execute EDTF '/' or DSPF '/' - both are 
the same for this purpose. On the resulting display you can take option 9 
to delete a directory and all its contents. If you need to go down a level, 
use option 2 or 5 on a directory, etc.

Do you need to delete IBM stuff, too? Most product stuff should be removed 
with DLTLICPGM, so I assume this is for whatever is left over.
