Local fix
Problem summary
It is not possible to delete a view in DOORS when the name ends with full stop character.
Problem conclusion
The security code in DOORS to prevent directory traversal attacks(using ..\.. in paths to access other locations) does not allow any paths with ".." in them. Modified to preserve the security but still allow filenames with multiple full stops.
Temporary fix
Rename the view to not use a full stop before deleting it.
