Have you tried enclosing the UNC path within quotes? ("), or if you don't
want to deal with that you can also delete the filespaces by filespace ID.

delete filespace {node}  {filespaceid} nametype=fsid (delete filespace
AFSDBMS 3 nametype=fsid for example)

Worst comes to worst, you could try using the qui, THAT should work unless
you have a larger problem.

        Subject:        DEL FILE on individual Windows file spaces



We have a mix of AIX and Windows.....example below.
On deleting individual filespaces on AIX there is no problem, as:

del file aixadmin /usr

However, trying to delete individual Windows filespaces causes probems.
All files can be deleted but individula filespaces
specified returns a not found error:

del file afsdbms *............this works

def file afsdbms \\afsdbms\e$..............does not work
