Time for another question.  I am experiencing a bit of difficulty with the
AmigaD*S function DeleteFile().  The documentation I have states that this
function will delete a file or directory.  The problem is, in an application
I am writing, I am getting an object in use error when trying to delete any
directory after having deleted all files in that directory.  The files all
delete fine, but when an attempt is then made to delete the directory, I get
the error.  Keep in mind that this is a directory that my program has recently
created using mkdir() and no other processes are active.  Upon exiting the
program, the del command will not delete it either although I can cd to it.
Only by rebooting the system will the harddisk mount clean up the directory
to allow it to be deleted.  I am sure I must be missing some trivial tidbit
of knowledge concerning deleting files, but I have looked till I am blue in
the face and have failed to find anything that solves this problem.
Anyone out there have any idea what I am doing wrong?
