scratch a file in emulator - I am probably doing it wrong...

Perhaps part of my issue is that my host system is Linux - and the drive is being hosted on a Linux file system - so it has case sensitivity.

DOS "VALIDATE"

It is still there. I guess the scratch function in the emulator does not work. What am I doing wrong?
