Kramer) Subject: Need help deleting a bogus file Message-ID: Sender: news@pixar.com (Usenet Newsmaster) Nntp-Posting-Host: cherry Reply-To: sjk@aura.nbn.com Organization: Pixar -- Point Richmond, California Date: Fri, 21 Jun 1991 03:47:42 GMT This morning, my A3000 hung while running the CNews `expire' program. I rebooted with the "drive busy" light on. After getting past a "Work0: Disk not validated" error, I wound up with 2 directory entries for a "history.pag" file; `list' showed 2 files with the same name with different datestamps. I was able to copy the "real" file and delete it, but am still left with this bogus file: AmiShell> list Control.BAD Directory "Work0:Spool/CNews/Control.BAD" on Thursday 20-Jun-91 history.pag 126268 ----rwed Today 03:43:28 1 file - 251 blocks used AmiShell> delete Control.BAD/history.pag No file to delete AmiShell> type Control.BAD/history.pag hex TYPE can't open Control.BAD/history.pag No files to type Is there any way of getting rid of this without reformatting the partition? Please email responses. Thanks for any help with this! -- Scott J. Kramer UUCP: {sun,ucbvax}!pixar!aura!sjk P.O. Box 3392 Internet: sjk@aura.nbn.com San Rafael, CA 94912
