Earlier today I did a "rm -fr /APACHE/PUB/*" from the Posix shell.  This was
several hours ago and I've yet to see any of the file space recovered by the
system.  After the "rm" command, I attempted to purge the APACHE account
using "purgeacct apache" from the manager.sys logon.  I received the
following CI error message:

        :purgeacct apache
        ACCOUNT APACHE TO BE PURGED? (YES/NO)yes
        In use.  Can't be purged. (CIERR 916)
        :

I've found nothing on the system indicating that the account, account users,
or account groups are in use.  The system is heavily utilized.  Could it be
that the file space recovery is pending the availability of some system
resource - or, is there possibly a more serious problem?

Any assistance is appreciated.
