Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] BDI

if it is a text file, you can delete it as: rm /usr/local/emc/programs/capper.txt (no / at the end)

to delete files with special chars in the name, can use quote ("") to enclose the filename.

to delete empty directories (folders): rmdir foldername
to delete folder and content: rm -rf foldername

on some linuxes there are measures taken against accidentally deleting lot of files, so it may as yes/no thereafter.

hope this helps
