Hi,
We received a call from one of the endusers about how to delete a specific file. The file, when tried to delete normally, says 'Cannot read from source file or disk'.
The file is named /&510L~1 (note the leading / !) according to Windows, and has no properties, size, owner or ACL. I've tried hooking up a Linux machine, connecting through SMB, and rm -rf the file but that also didn't work, I receive an error of the same stretch. (Although Linux doesn't list the file, it gives me an error 'File not found' when just trying to ls the directory!)
Anyway... is there any method of killing off this file? Tools like Ultraedit won't open it either, I tried that.. and it's not like the file is in use (there are plenty of tools for that one) but the file simply won't get read..
