RE: [cobalt-users] RAQ3 unable to remove site

["John Burgess" <john.burgess@xxxxxxxxxx>]

ls -a shows all files, including hidden files that start with a dot.  You
can remove everything in a directory, under a directory and the directory
itself (without prompts) with "rm -rf dirname".  Be extra careful with it
though, it can wipe out your harddrive in a flash.

If that (hidden files) is not it, look in /etc/locks and remove any files
you find there.

I'm not sure if the Raq3 has that directory as I don't have one to look at,
but this is locking directory for a Raq2, and on a Raq2 it is used for
concurrency control for administrative and configuration file updates.
