Title: finding and deleting files
Post by: Henry on November 12, 2001, 04:05:43 AM

A friend of one of my kids dumped 5 megs of mp3s onto our server from a Mac box. He put into a folder created through a windoz box while logged on as one of the users. They were corrupted by an inacurrate date stamp. His iMac was set to 1962.This confused my windoz boxex and I can't get rid of the folder through the Win 98 client. Where is stuff like this stored in essg v4.1.12?

 I used MC to search for the folder, but no luck.

try looking in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/* if it was put into an ibay.

try typing
find /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ -name filename
where filename is a file that you know exists with all the files

then do a rm -f directory
wher edirectory is the dir that has all the corrupt files.  you can also do a -rf if there is a directory structure there.  BUT make sure you specify a directory you want to delete.
