Mark, please send questions in the future to 'odehelp'


If the mksb -undo didn't report that there were files still in use (it checks
your .BCSset* and .BCSconfig files in the src directory of the sandbox for this),
then all it does is to remove the 'sb' entry from ~/.sandboxrc, and rm -r the
sandbox itself.

Retry the mksb -undo.  If it won't succeed, it probably has already removed
the .sandboxrc entry and it was just in the middle of rm-ing the sandbox itself.
Check the .sandboxrc and if it's not listed, just rm -r the sandbox.  If it is
listed then perhaps it already removed the src directory of the sandbox.  

You can manually remove the 'sb name' entry and the 'name' sandbox directory
manually if there are no entries listed in either of the .BCS* files.

Josh,

I was in the process of getting rid of a sandbox using "mksb -undo"
when I spazzed out and accidentally clicked a button that terminated my
X session.  Now I have what appears to be a half-baked sandbox.  What
do I need to do to sanely remove it?

Thanks,

Mark
