To remove an element in the lost+found directory

Tip: You do not need to load the lost+found directory to complete this procedure from a snapshot view.
  1. To see the UUID of the element, enter the following command:
    • On the UNIX system and Linux:
      % ls VOB-path/lost+found
    • On Windows systems:
      > dir VOB-path\lost+found

    Each file in the lost+found directory is named as element-name.UUID.

  2. To permanently remove the element, use the following command:
    • On the UNIX system and Linux:
      cleartool rmelem VOB-path/lost+found/orphaned-element-name
      For example, from a dynamic view: 
      cleartool rmelem /guivob/lost+found/prog.c.5f6815a0a2ce11cca54708006906af65
      For example, from a snapshot view: 
      cd ~/pat_v1.4_cropcircle_sv
cleartool rmelem guivob/lost+found/prog.c.5f6815a0a2ce11cca54708006906af65
    • On Windows systems:
      cleartool rmelem VOB-path\lost+found\orphaned-element-name
      For example, from a dynamic view: 
      cleartool rmelem \guivob\lost+found\prog.c.5f6815a0a2ce11cca54708006906af65
      For example, from a snapshot view: 
      cd c:\pat_v1.4_cropcircle_sv
cleartool rmelem guivob\lost+found\prog.c.5f6815a0a2ce11cca54708006906af65
