When I call fioRemove to remove a file it outputs :

remove file mc0:/BEDATA-SYSTEM/KL.DAT
mkdir name mc0:/BEDATA-SYSTEM/KL.DAT

I am not sure where these are being output from.

Anyway why is it creating a directory after it has deleted the file?

It's a well known bug in sony's RPC server for fio* functions... They forgot a break in the switch between fioRemove and fioMkdir... So, you have to fioRemove then fioRmdir.

I suspected that would have been the cause. I guess it can't be fixed then.
Thanks for the info.

Pixel gave you an effective work-around.

Is there any reason we haven't made ps2sdk work around this automatically?

Several answers to that:

-) fioRemove is only a rpc call, which would work with different versions of the same irx, bugged, and non bugged. That's not up to that layer to have that fix

-) the correct layer that should have that workaround would be libc, with a rmdir() function (which would make up the path with the current directory, etc)

-) fileXio removes that bug.
