For some reason I keep getting my external hard drive appearing as two volumes (though only one actually being real and updating). I think this is due to the problems I'm having mounting it.
Anyway, to get rid of this extra volume (so my external drive doesn't have the additional 1 on it) I try to delete everything in the volume and wipe it. But even though the directories are empty it doesn't think so.
As seen below.
[AppleBook:/] tristanl% cd volumes
[AppleBook:/volumes] tristanl% ls
AppleStore AppleStore 1 Hard Place
[AppleBook:/volumes] tristanl% cd applestore
[AppleBook:/volumes/applestore] tristanl% ls
BitTorrents
[AppleBook:/volumes/applestore] tristanl% cd bittorrents
[AppleBook:/volumes/applestore/bittorrents] tristanl% ls
[AppleBook:/volumes/applestore/bittorrents] tristanl% cd ..
[AppleBook:/volumes/applestore] tristanl% rmdir BitTorrents
rmdir: BitTorrents: Directory not empty
[AppleBook:/volumes/applestore] tristanl% cd BitTorrents
[AppleBook:/volumes/applestore/BitTorrents] tristanl% ls
[AppleBook:/volumes/applestore/BitTorrents] tristanl% rm *.*
tcsh: rm: No match.
[AppleBook:/volumes/applestore/BitTorrents] tristanl% cd ..
[AppleBook:/volumes/applestore] tristanl%
Can anyone help me?

"sudo rm -rf volumes/applestore/BitTorrents" ?

All opinions are entirely those of my employer. It's not my fault.

ls only shows visible files - invisibe dotfiles are hidden. To show them, type "ls -A" - or just remove the directory recursively as described above.
About the issue: What does Disk Utility say? Also, if you want to wip the dirve anyway, why not just reformat it?

this volume actually doesn't exist, and can only be seen when you use terminal (it seems to become some sort of partition of my normal main drive). I don't want to wipe my main drive at present but I do want to get rid of this random volume.
Will try your ideas guys - thanks for the advice!
