How to delete restored files?
I've just started with AIX interface (PASE) on iSeries system (AS/400).
I've restored one bff file more than I need Smilie. Is there any smart method to remove restored files. Maybe a smart script?

.bff includes a lot of files. So, I'm looking for a script which base on .bff remove all files from system.

How did you restored.

In AIX .bff files are basically installable filesets.
so you may need to uninstall from your system(not just rm will work ).

to uninstall use "smitty installp"
