Private Folders (POFU)

Hi, after referring to associated topics in this forum, I am posting this one.

Some Folders are designed as Private on First Use (POFU).

Over a period of time, the number of private folders have grown in number and are becoming a reason for database not to open and crashes sometimes.

Tried deleting Private folders with a C API program, the problem is the process cannot see all the private folders apart from that of the session user. Ever tried an agent stamped with Full Admin and Server ID’s, no luck bypassing the $Reader field on POFU folder.

Just wondering how AdminP can get access to these folders and log them in database Usage.

Is there a way to access all the private folders and delete them.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ravi K.

p.s. code works perfectly fine for a session user in database query close, we want to get rid of 100’s of others, id’s for which are not even existing presently in NAB.
