Kramer) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.misc,comp.sys.amiga.programmer Subject: Need help deleting a bogus file Message-ID: Date: 21 Jun 91 01:09:54 GMT Reply-To: sjk@aura.nbn.com Distribution: comp Organization: sjk at home Lines: 23 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
