LISTMEDIA reports some bogus files that DELETEFILE cannot remove.

Any ideas on how to remove them?

* Identify the DOS directory on which the files are located.

* Do a LISTVOLUME to get the DOS filenames.

* Using Windows explorer or DOS, delete those files, if they exist.

* Attach the REVMEDIA file for that volume (ATTACHTABLE volumename REVMEDIA)

* Delete the records in this file corresponding to the files you want to delete.

Caveats:

* Nobody is using the files at the time.

* No other logical file is also associated with the same DOS file.

* The scope of these instructions does not include indexing.

* You have appropriate rights to be able to attach REVMEDIA.
