Delete it using the FSID.  "del files nodename fsid# namet=fsid"

Using your example, del file afsdbms 3 namet=fsid.

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
