When I use rm to remove files under Cygwin, it's creating a hidden folder in the file's directory called "deleted" (without the quotes of course). This folder contains a file called "index", and one or more files named "deleted.001", "deleted.002", etc. I can remove the hidden directory from DOS (using rmdir); I can remove the hidden directory from Windows Explorer. Having these folders hanging around is annoying, especially because rm -rf doesn't get rid of directories! Does anyone know why this is happening to me? I've been using Cygwin for years...this only started happening in the last couple weeks -- the only thing I can think of is that I changed some of my NTFS permissions around when I locked down my workstation...however, seeing as I can remove the files easily from DOS and Explorer, I'm stumped... Any info is appreciated. Here is my configuration: bash$ cygcheck -s Cygnus Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Fri Aug 17 06:13:20 2001 WinNT Ver 5.0 build 2195 Service Pack 2 Path: /c/jdk1.2.2/bin /c/r7/tools/vs6/common/MSDev98/bin /c/r7/tools/vs6/VC98/bin /c/r7/tools/vs6/common/TOOLS/WINNT /c/r7/tools/vs6/common/TOOLS /p/Bin/WinNT /p/Bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /c/WINNT/system32 /c/WINNT /c/Program Files/Resource Kit/ /c/Program Files/Microsoft Platform SDK/Bin/. /c/Program Files/Microsoft Platform SDK/Bin/WinNT/. /c/WINNT/system32/ SysDir: C:\WINNT\System32 WinDir: C:\WINNT PWD = `/c/r7/src/shared/java/_DEBUG' USER = `chadloder' MAKE_MODE = `unix' HOME = `/home/chadloder' Use `-r' to scan registry a: fd N/A N/A c: hd NTFS 19445Mb 66% CP CS UN PA FC DRIVE_C d: cd CDFS 0Mb -2147483548% CS Audio CD f: fd FAT 1905Mb 17% CP UN p: hd NTFS 19445Mb 66% CP CS UN PA FC DRIVE_C c:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin system textmode c:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib system textmode c:\cygwin / system textmode C:\temp /tmp user textmode N: /zion user textmode N: /n user textmode P: /p user textmode U: /u user textmode c: /c user textmode f: /f user textmode d: /cygdrive/d user textmode,noumount Found: c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe Found: c:\cygwin\bin\cat.exe Found: c:\cygwin\bin\cpp.exe Found: c:\cygwin\bin\find.exe Found: c:\cygwin\bin\gcc.exe Found: c:\cygwin\bin\gdb.exe Found: c:\cygwin\bin\ld.exe Found: c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe Found: c:\cygwin\bin\make.exe Found: c:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe 56k 2000/12/03 c:\cygwin\bin\cygbz21.0.dll 45k 2001/04/25 c:\cygwin\bin\cygform5.dll 18k 2000/10/23 c:\cygwin\bin\cyggdbm.dll 17k 2001/01/07 c:\cygwin\bin\cyghistory4.dll 14k 2000/10/23 c:\cygwin\bin\cygintl.dll 81k 2001/04/28 c:\cygwin\bin\cygitcl30.dll 35k 2001/04/28 c:\cygwin\bin\cygitk30.dll 45k 2000/10/22 c:\cygwin\bin\cygjbig1.dll 119k 2001/06/06 c:\cygwin\bin\cygjpeg6b.dll 26k 2001/04/25 c:\cygwin\bin\cygmenu5.dll 156k 2001/04/25 c:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses++5.dll 226k 2001/04/25 c:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses5.dll 15k 2001/04/25 c:\cygwin\bin\cygpanel5.dll 163k 2001/05/06 c:\cygwin\bin\cygpng2.dll 108k 2001/01/07 c:\cygwin\bin\cygreadline4.dll 390k 2001/04/28 c:\cygwin\bin\cygtcl80.dll 5k 2001/04/28 c:\cygwin\bin\cygtclpip80.dll 10k 2001/04/28 c:\cygwin\bin\cygtclreg80.dll 245k 2001/06/12 c:\cygwin\bin\cygtiff3.dll 623k 2001/04/28 c:\cygwin\bin\cygtk80.dll 41k 2001/05/28 c:\cygwin\bin\cygXpm-noX4.dll 45k 2000/11/20 c:\cygwin\bin\cygXpm-X4.dll 49k 2001/02/03 c:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll 678k 2001/05/21 c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll Cygwin DLL version info: dll major: 1003 dll minor: 2 dll epoch: 19 dll bad signal mask: 19005 dll old termios: 5 dll malloc env: 28 api major: 0 api minor: 39 shared data: 3 dll identifier: cygwin1 mount registry: 2 cygnus registry name: Cygnus Solutions cygwin registry name: Cygwin program options name: Program Options cygwin mount registry name: mounts v2 cygdrive flags: cygdrive flags cygdrive prefix: cygdrive prefix cygdrive default prefix: build date: Sun May 20 23:28:17 EDT 2001 shared id: cygwin1S3 Use -h to see help about each section -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
