This has always been the case...

- I've been doing LS for years and years, and this has happened since R4. It's the same thing if the server does it, except it can't be deleted until Domino is bounced. Notes & Domino have always been very lax about releasing resources when they should by rights be done with them, and this seems particularly the case with files/directories.

- It also doesn't matter if your Agent is LS or Java, so it's something in the API. Consistency is good, at any rate.

- In the Grand Scheme O' Flakiness, this ranks pretty low in my book. Doesn't make it right, just means I don't care if it works this way or not. Every few months, when I know Domino has been bounced, I go to the server and delete a few hundred or thousand empty directories. (shrug) Since there are far bigger fish to fry, so to speak, I'm delighted to accept this so Lotus can direct their energies at more pressing concerns. The only sad part is in all those years and years Lotus has always had more pressing concerns to address.

Hope this helps...
