I have a specific video file on the machine that is acting funny.  It won't open and won't delete.  I have tried to delete it from windows explorer and it acts like it is deleting it kind of locks up for a few mins.  If I navigate away from the folder that contains the file and then back to it the file is back!  I can't seem to get rid of it through windows explorer.

 

Anyway to delete this from the console or telnet prompt?

After logging in via telnet, use the linux "rm" command... assuming the file is in the root of disk1:

 

rm /mnt/disk1/filename

 

and that will delete it.

That did the trick!  Thanks for your help!!

You may want to run a fsck on the file system. There's directions to do this in the Wiki if you do some poking around. It's been my experience in the past that when I have weird issues like this that there may be some corruption going on. ResierFS does not seem to like having power pulled from it suddenly A UPS is a REAL good idea but try to make it a big one if you have any kind of extended outages going on since the system doesn't YET have support for a clean shutdown upon signal from the UPS. I'd be more exacting on how to run the fsck but it's been awhile since I've had to do it and am glad for it since data loss can occur (and did for me!). That's one of the few ways you can lose data with this system it seems...

Directions here.
