- Do a DIR/SEC on the file, this will show you any ACLs as well as the UIC-based
- protection. You might have an ACL on the file which is denying you access.
- Happens to me all the time... If you have, then look at set file/acl.
-
- If all you want to do is delete the file, try
-
- SET FILE filename /ACL=(ID=*,ACC=R+W+E+D+C)
-
- and then try deleting it.
-
- If this does no good, then maybe post some more info, e.g. the output of
- DIR/SEC.
