Subj: 	How do I cancel a patch I started, and delete its sandbox?

I had been working on a modification to be shipped as both a patch and a change
to the main code pool, currently intended to be gold minor.  The original work had
been done in a sandbox backed by the gold support tree.  I had done a bco of the
file being changed, and then did a bcs -u to release my lock.  When I tried to
delete the sandbox with a mksb -undo, it failed claiming the file I had done the
bcs -u was still "active" and thus the sandbox could not be released.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to finish cleaning up after aborting the
patch, and allow me to properly delete the patch sandbox?

Thanks everyone,
Marc

Before it lets you destroy a sandbox, ODE checks the sandbox for files
that have the sandbox name on one of their branches by looking at the
sandbox's set files.  You need to do a "bcs -o -all" to outdate all
of these dregs before it will let you destroy the sandbox.  Just
unlocking the files is insufficient, if you've done any checkins.
