Symptoms
For this article there are no symptoms in terms of errors seen in alert or within the session.
Instead for this article to be applicable the user will be trying to delete folders using the ADRCI tool under Oracle11g 11.1.0.6, the problem is only seen on this particular release and is resolved in the 11.1.0.7 patchset.
There is no clear documentation to show how such directories can be removed using ADRCI so to demonstrate the problem and solution an example is now provided. The example is specific to a particular machine/instance so cannot be simulated by a testcase. The purpose of the example is simply to highlight syntax and usage of ADRCI:
a) navigate to the directory containing the instance trace information:
'show incident' will then show the 5 remaining rows but still 'ls -ltr' shows six CDMP_<timestamp> directories.
