Hi,

since this is still really annoying me, I have to ask again, if there is
*any* solution.

You can use :bd! to force a real deletion of a directory
as opposed to just hiding it.
Unfortunately, this does not work. No matter how often I type ":bd",
":bd!", ":bn", ":bw", ... nothing happens.
(VIM 8.2, netrw v168)

Example:

- directory structure:

     ./dir/
     ./dir/subfile
     ./file

- vim *

Result:
- vim shows the "dir"-directory-listing, and there is no way to (a) delete
   the buffer or (b) switch to the next buffer with :bd/:bn.
- :n switches to the next buffer, but does not cycle/wrap-around.
- The *only* way to close the directory-listing, is:
   - :buffers
   - look for the buffer-numer
   - :bdel <num>
   - :bn
   In earlier vim-versions, :bdel was enough.

So, is there *any* way to solve this, so that :bdel (or some other command)
closes the directory listing and switches to the next buffer?
(Or maybe a way to prevent "vim *" to open directory listings at all?)

Well, I just don't see that problem.

vim *
shows the dir/ and its file,
:bn then moves on to "file".

Repeating, and instead of :bn I used :bd -- and the "file" is opened with contents shown.

Perhaps upgrading netrw would be of assistance in this; its at 171g (v170 should be available as a regular vim update, and 171g is available from my website as http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW).
