[Gllug] OT deleting files in 'doze

[Xander D Harkness]

Can you move it to a new directory and then delete the new directory
tree carrying the blank with it?

Have you tried deleting with winfile.exe the old file manager?

I guess rename fails.

Do a google search for zdelete and drag and drop the folder on to the
rubbish bin.

You can also try the above commands in VGA mode(equiv of safe mode) 

Cheers
Xander
