Hi guys I must be doing something wrong with file sets. I define a fileset with pattern of \*.scc to load up all our vss source control files then I am trying to remove them with a fileset delete files. I run the define fileset and it shows the correct number of .scc files, I then run the fileset delete and it says deleted 0 files. I can get it to work with fileset move. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Jason,
I just did a quick test and it’s working fine for me. Is it possible that the files are in use or are readonly? Do you have “Ignore Delete Failures” turned on?

They are not read only and I do not have ignore delete failures. Any ideas?

hmm, no ideas yet. Can you send us a reproducible case maybe?
