One disturbing possibility which may require a little bit of reconstruction afterwards, is to try deleting these directories from a level higher in the directory heirachy (probably with rm -rf.) It is quite possible that this method will delete the "reserved" filenames without you having to specify them directly. I would move the contents of the top level directory to a clean fresh location, rm -rf the /pub (or whatever) directory, and then put back the contents of the original directory. -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd.
