Access Denied error while trying to delete ClearCase.mkelem file

Question

Why am I getting these .MKELEM files? How can I get rid of them?

I found several documents that said these were temporary files created by the ClearCase GUI when adding files to the original control. But sometimes they do not disappear.

FURTHER INFORMATION: "Access Denied" trying to delete or rename .MKELEM. They seem to be created when I add new files to clearcase.

At the command line, you can try the following: ct ls -l {filename}.mkelem This will show the links, then please try the following to link the actual file: ct ln -c "scm:relink" {link} {actual filename}
