TAPEMGR DELETE filespec This command will delete a virtual tape container file. The filespec must include a full path in unix style (for example "/files/tape.vtape"). The string must be enclosed in quotes. The path must be on a mounted device that is not the system device. Wildcards may be specified allowing file and directory deletion in one command. Note that if a wildcard is specified and the result would be deletion of multiple files or non-empty directories then you must speficy /FORCE for the command to proceed. This is a safety feature to prevent unwanted deletion of files. Wildcards are normal posix regular expressions like *, ?, [1-4], etc.
1 /FORCE
/FORCE /NOFORCE If this qualifier is present then wildcard file deletion will be allowed.
