apero_remove exiting w/o doing the job

[clairem789]

I had to do this to save disk space:
apero_remove.py --file_prefix DEBUG

(It used to work with v0.7.290 and --prefix instead of --file_prefix)

Now I get
15:28:22.005-!!|REMOVE| Current working directory within paths to be reset. Please change directory
15:28:22.005-!!|REMOVE| Current dir: /Volumes/dataDRS/spirou/red
15:28:22.006-!!|REMOVE| Block: /Volumes/dataDRS/spirou/red
15:28:22.026-|REMOVE| ***************************************************************************

15:28:22.033-@!|REMOVE| seconds)
15:28:22.039-|REMOVE| ***************************************************************************

When it requires confirmation, the prompt does not go to the next line as it's used to:

Warning this will remove files from disk and the database are you sure you want to continue?
[Y]es or [N]oY

I wonder whether this is related.

No this is unrelated... there is a protection again having your console in the directory you are trying to remove from...

15:28:22.005-!!|REMOVE| Current working directory within paths to be reset. Please change directory

Just make sure you are not in an apero data directory and it should work!

Ahah! it does! I thought I had tried this but this times it works.
what a funny rule!
thanks

I had problems that some of the remove/delete scripts delete directories, if you are inside a directory that python deletes it can screw things up afterwards (console becomes invalid) - in most cases with apero_remove you wont be doing this but its harder to figure out when you are/aren't versus just avoiding the problem altogether!
