Deepak,
The following things are true...
1) You must run rmelem iteratively to catch all dirs and subdirs/files
2) Doing so can remove IMPORTANT elements if users have run rmelem on
elements by mistake. It's best to make a backup of lost+found before
blowing it away
However, please also note...
1) Unco will not work on elements in lost+found unless you are in the view
they were checked-out. Checked-out files appear in lost+found when someone
runs rmelem on a directory with checked-out files. You have to use
view-extended pathnames to run unco properly (when not in the view the
elements were checked-out). This can be a serious pain when running in a
mixed environment. One way to avoid this is to write a pre-op rmelem
trigger (for dir elements) that looks for checked-out elements in child
dirs. This can be slow but rmelem is not typically used as often as other
commands and limiting the trigger to dirs will help out.
