Try the rename option in WRKLNK or, as someone else suggested, System i Navigator.

If the current name has non-displayable characters, you are just trying to rename what you can see, not what is actually there.

Try a rename first. Then delete what you renamed.
It's been years but I think thats how i got it. I can't test it to be sure.

Hi Folks,?I think I'm gonna stump the band on this one.?

?

I'm unable to delete certain files from the IFS.? IBM support has no way
to delete them.? These objects were created by our HA replication
software and the HA vendor doesn't know how to remove them either.? IBM
says they have a hidden character.? ?

?

I get msg CPFA0A9 whether I use the 4 option from the display or rmvlnk
(as shown below).?

?

I tried the IFSTOOL DLTFIFS but that also gets me?CPFA0A9.

?

Using EDTF '/' I was able to use?option 4 which seemed to?delete the
files and I thought that was successful EDTF / doesn't display these
objects anymore?but?when I use?WRKLNK '/' I still see the files (they're
listed at the bottom).? ?

?

When I try to delete via?qsh rm, here's what I get;

?

??
$???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

?> rm
'/test/rpts051809/H04CLMPF_106731____27.TXT'????????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????
?? rm: 001-2103 Error found getting information for file or directory
/test/rpts051809/H04CLMPF_106731____27.TXT. No such path or
??
directory.??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??
$???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
???

So, I ask you folks, does anyone know how I might b/able to remove these
objects????????????

?
