Thanks for the bug report. It included _almost_ everything. But you left out a step 4. 'ls -l *.class' so that we could see that those files really did exist there. It just leaves that nagging doubt about typos being present. > Have tried: > rm -r ./*.class > > doesnt work either. The -r option only causes rm to remove the listed files if those files are directories. That probably does not apply here with *.class files. I doubt if any of those are directories. > Platform: Win2000 > GNU fileutils 4.0 The hard work the Cygwin team has put in to porting the GNU utilities to Windows is greatly admired. However the GNU team generally uses UNIX systems and do not have access to Cygwin systems. Most of us can't help. It would be most appreciated if you would make your bug report directly to the Cygwin folks. They are the experts and best suited to handle your issues.
