I have a file on my hard disk that I cannot remove. It is busy. I have
tried all sorts of things, but nothing so far has been able to delete
it. We have SUM II here and I tried SUM Tools to edit the file
attributes, one of which is the busy bit. When it opens the file, it
gives me an error and then opens it. The file attributes show that the
busy bit is not set on, but when I change any of the other attributes
and leave the busy bit off and save changes to the file, it does not sem
(seem) to affect the busy bit.
HELP ME!!!!!!!
This is like the folder from hell scenario, should I follow those steps
and where do I find them?
Thank y'all!!
