Keywords: RMDIR Message-ID: <1027@pc.ecn.purdue.edu> Date: 15 Aug 88 19:01:17 GMT Reply-To: jmoore@pc.ecn.purdue.edu (James D Moore) Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network Lines: 22 I have recently run into a problem I cannot figure out. Off of my root directory I have a directory called "lisp". In trying to make space the other day I decided to remove all of the files and the directory. First I removed all of the files in the directory and then I tried "rmdir lisp" when in the root. When I did this it gave me a message telling me that the file could not be found or that the directory was not empty or that path was incorrect. I tried several combinations to remove the file and none worked. I tried using "XTREE" and it gave me a message that "the disk had been modified". I would like to remove this file but cannot figure out how. Any help would be appreciated. I have access to Norton Utilities if needs be. If someone could mail me the info on how to get the directory out I would be very grateful. Thanks. Jim Moore jmooew@cimlab.ecn.purdue.edu
