Re: How to delete rogue nul files


Hi,
I would like to declare this the NUL-est thread ever, and would like to thank you NUL-experts for
your NUL-help.

Seriously I've now learnt how to delete those pesky undeletable windows files namely

DEL \\.\c:\somedir\nul


or delinvfile.exe (google for this utility)

And also the conundrum that ls -l nul will ALWAYS list a file
