Oh. That's interesting. Are the unused physical directories ever deleted? I don't understand how keeping the old directories around can be beneficial. All they will do is take up space in the inode table/FAT and make searching for a particular directory slower over time as the number of defunct directories builds up. Does deleting the defunct directory break the implementation in some other way?? Thanks, Warwick

Hi, Has anyone else seen a problem where deleting a collection will delete all the metadata for the collection and delete the files under that collection but not the physical directory structure itself? I'm using Slide 2.1M1 and using both the CLI and my application have found that the recursive delete of a collection seems to only half-work. To reproduce create a collection with the CLI then drop a file under it. Delete the collection. An "ls" command from the CLI will show that the collection and its children have been deleted but looking at the physical filesystem shows that the collection structure has not been deleted although the files within have. I'm using a combination of stores with the TX filesystem for the contentstore and a JDBC store for every other store type.
