Probably. But why not just rename that folder?

You can safely rename the whole folder - all subdirs will be recreated
as needed. When you are satisfied you don't need anything in the queue,
you may remove it.

Ahhmmmm...OLd thread....but been on vacation......

But I disagree with you here Mike


Renaming the whole folder, could cause items pending for other PO's to
be lost....

Instead, only the relevant directory should be renamed
