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!

Try the following list >pipe:a work0:spool/cnews/control.bad/#? lformat="delete %s%s" <RETURN> execute pipe:a <RETURN> This will create a pipe file which contains "delete history.pag", assuming it is the only file in the directory control.bad. Executing the pipe file should delete the file. > >Please email responses. Thanks for any help with this! I would have emailed but my mail seems to be bouncing back on me. >-- >Scott J.
