[Coco] How to delete bad OS9 files.

[Robert Gault]

I would first do a dir -e to see how many if any bytes are in the file. Then do attr -d cphere to indicate the file is not a directory. You may also need to use attr to make the file a public read/write file.With the above done, you should be able to erase the file.

damaged.

  The file "cphere" was supposed to be a regular file but
  attr cphere results in d-ewr--- not --ewre-r like it should.

  del cphere  results in ERROR #214 as does  deldir cphere
  which is No Permission.

  How can I delete this file.

  Ps the file was copied using arc.
