- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.22
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The MS-DOS DELTREE command does not remove directories named DIR000<x>
where x is an integer number. For example, the DELTREE command does not remove a
directory called DIR0001.
WORKAROUND
==========
You must use a third-party disk utility to remove DIR000<x> directories.
STATUS
======
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Microsoft ScanDisk creates DIR000<x> directories when it finds directory
structures that are damaged beyond repair. All the files in these directories
have read-only and hidden attributes. The MS-DOS ATTRIB command does not change
the attributes on these files.
