I really screwed up while trying to free up over 3000 blocks of disk
space occupied by /usr/man - the online xenix manual. I tried
mvdir but moved it to /u1, not only another file system but
anoter drive! The top directroy moved, but of course
none of thefiles, and when I rebooted, the directory disappeared
but the df command showed the 3000 blocks still tied up! 
How can I free up that space - everything that was in subdirectyroy
/usr/man? 
  I tried using custom to remove the package, but that didn't
work, I tried reinstalling the man package but that just took up
more space.
 So what do I do to get that space back? 
(someone who now reads the finest print int he shortest docs - like
terse 'mvdir'.
