I have created a directory on the Novell server (being logged in as SUPERVISOR) called MIDUS (note the single S at the end). Then, I created one called MIDUSS and installed the software called Miduss under MIDUSS. Guess what ? The directory MIDUS cannot be deleted. I looked at it. It is not Read-Only, it is empty, I am the supervisor, but it wan't allow itself to be deleted. An RD MIDUS command return directory not found, not empty .. blah blah blah message. We have novell 2.15a, dos 3.3 on the workstation. I doubt I am missing somethin g obvious. -merlin First shot, try using FILER to delete the directory. I have had other "Cannot delete director" problems that were solved by using Filer. Since I got rid of the unwanted stuff, I never though what the cause could be.
