Either look again next day to convince yourself that its gone or run 'updatedb' as root. BTW, the same restriction applies to the 'apropos' manpage finder. In summary: - 'locate' doesn't see recent changes until cron has run 'updatedb' - if you want to check on a change you've just made, use 'ls' or 'find' Martin
