Hi,

on my multiboot eCS/Linux system, a wrongly started Linux program
almost filled up the eCS JFS startup volume. I just could start eCS,
started to delete with a filemanager the 1000s of files (all under one
directory) because several utilities complained about "incorrect file
name" and other errors, also chkdsk. This took too long, so I used the
drive object, and delete the object to the trashcan. Now the trashcan
is unusable. As soon as I click on it, it goes to 100% cpu and stays
there. The screen says "calculation size" or something similar, on the
deleted directory.

How can I get rid of this? It is not a regular directory. I have a eCS
maintenance partition and also Linux to work outside the normal eCS, if
needed.

Mat Nieuwenhoven

Here x:\Trash is a regular directory as well as x:\arbeitsoberfläche\papierkorb. Don't
know which one is used though. But \Trash is hidden. That doesn't hinder 4os2 or
LarsenCommander to go into it. I have configured both to show hidden files. I can delete
files there with both of them. You can also try 'dir /ah'. Guess 'cd Trash' will work with
standard cmd.exe too.

I my experience I can not delete only files which have names with special characters and
which are written while I'm running with a different codepage. In this case my only
solution so far is copying all except the problematic files/directories to another
partition and reformat. In your case you probably can delete from your Linux partition too.

Greetings, Andreas

The Trash dirs in the root are the ones from XWP.

Beside the solutions for the command line, there exist a useful WPS
extension for deleting almost everything. The objects from the launch pad
are an exception, which require the OS/2 shredder object.

It removes the NODELETE=YES setting of files and objects and all file
attributes that can make the XWP trash refer a deletion. It's the "mshred"
object by Mark Kimes. I have it set to non-trashcan-mode, to make it do
real deletion beside the XWP trashcan. In that mode it's called "The Mangler".

It's still available on Harald's site:
ftp://cyberia.dnsalias.com/pub/filebase/gfd/wps/tool/mshred.zip
