I have two folders on Goldman that I can't seem to be able to delete, either from unix or from windows. It could have been the case that these folders were terminated abruptly due to FSL crashes. I get

"rm: 46768_run01_model2_output.feat/: The file access permissions do not allow the specified action."

I checked the permissions and it seems fine. Any help? I cant delete it from Windows explorer either. Says folder cannot be accessed.

If there is a hung process (or any process) that has the directory as its working directory, you will not be able to delete it until you kill the process or change directories.

I cant find any stopped or hung processes. I tried to do "ps -ef | grep vinod" to check for those on golgi. I have already logged out of golgi fully and logged in again. And the problem still remains. Any other suggestions on what I can do to delete the folder? There are two folders actually:

\\Goldman\BIAC\Data\Riskalloc.01\Analysis\FSL\46768\run01\46768_run01_model2_output.feat
\\Goldman\BIAC\Data\Riskalloc.01\Analysis\FSL\46777\run01\46777_run01_model1_output.feat

The power loss and subsequent Goldman restart fixed my problem :). I managed to delete the folders.
