Hi,

I'm trying to execute a RMVLNK ( RD ) RMVLNK(*YES) on a directory on the
IFS. But it refuses, because there are objects in it. Now, I know this, and
still want to remove it, but the operating system doesn't allow me. When I
delete object by object, via option 4 ( WRKLNK ), it works fine, and the
space occupied by the objects ( pc-documents ) is freed.

I'm trying this, because, when I'm deleting the directories via OpsNav, I
see that while executing the delete the amount of disk space goes down !
What is happening ? I'm on a V5R1.

Hi,
you can :
- look at the IBM supplied IFS tools (somewhere in the disinfo-center)
- start EdtF which has an option 9=recursive delete

I am assuming your directory is RD. Try RMVLNK ('/RD/*') to clear out
all the links in the directory. Then use the RMVDIR command if you
want to get rid of the directory. Hope this helps.

Mark.
