Hi all,

I'm getting a "Dos error: object is in use (#202) when trying to delete a folder with an application (ArtEffect 2.0).

I deleted all entries created in the S:user-start up but I still can't delete it the folder and its content. Where do I look ? or better yet, what should I do?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Most likely there is still an assign pointing to the folder.

If you've removed the relevant lines from user-startup, you could always just reboot and then delete the folder (since the assign is created when s:user-startup is run at boot time).

Alternatively, if you don't want to reboot, you can open a cli:

assign foo

(replacing 'foo' with the name of the assign pointing to your folder).

If you can't remember the name of the asssign, you can just type:

assign

into the cli to list all current assigns and their destination(s).

Thanks. Using assing in CLI did the trick. Man!, being away from my MorphOS system for 1 whole year really made very rusty.
