attrib -r x:\* /S	remomes all readonly attributes from all
attrib -s x:\* /S       same for system attribute
attrib -h x:\* /S       and third for hidden attribute

atrrib -rhs x:\* /S     works only for such files wheras all
                         3 attributes set.

Running attrib for each attribute separately guarantees success on any 
combination.

To get files/dir#s removed:
rm -rf * is much simpler, quicker and guaratees success for anything 
that is not locked.

locked: some files are not only open but locked when OS/2 is active on 
a drive. locked files can sometims easy opened but not deleted/changed.

To get them unlocked you needs \ecs\bin\unlock.exe (with the risk of 
crashing applications or the whole system.
