    Files faulted on my 2nd shift operator, and he tried to delete them. They are now stuck as "being deleted" and you can't do anything with them.

    He tried restart. I've tried shutting down entirely. Those files (129 of them) are frozen/locked up as "being deleted" and I can't move, hold, delete, etc.

    Anyone been through this before?

    I had something like that once...it turned out my files were loaded from a USB thumb drive...which I removed after loading, i could not delete after that...until i put the usb back in I believe.

    not sure thats your case though.

    great screen name.

    Thanks. Ended up deleting .dat files in unix. No way to do it via freeflow. Once rebooted, the db had to start from scratch. All good now.

    Ask your rep to install the freeflow tools. This allows you to delete left over crap like background form, stray variable data etc
