The directory cat/file string is '/u17/lost+found/#005628'. I position myself at the directory 'lost+found' and then enter "rm -rf *562*" just encase there are any unprintable characters. The response is 'rmdir: Cannot remove "#005628". No such file or directory.' Do you have any suggestions on how to clean this out. Thanks: Herb Overstreet (DCA-EUR Administrator)
