Question:Problem with RootOf

With the following equation

eqn:=y=1/2+(1/2)*erf((1/2)*sqrt(2)*(x-mu)/sigma)-exp(-lambda*(x-mu)+(1/2)*lambda^2*sigma^2+ln(1/2-(1/2)*erf((1/2)*sqrt(2)*(lambda^2*sigma^2-lambda*(x-mu))/(lambda*sigma))));

and with

x:=solve(eqn,x) assuming sigma > 0, lambda > 0;

I got the following solution

x := -(1/2)*(-lambda^2*sigma^2-2*lambda*mu+2*RootOf(-exp(_Z)*erf((1/4)*sqrt(2)*(lambda^2*sigma^2+2*_Z)/(lambda*sigma))+exp(_Z)+erf((1/4)*sqrt(2)*(-lambda^2*sigma^2+2*_Z)/(lambda*sigma))+2*y-1))/lambda;

In order to get rid of RootOf I gave the command:

allvalues(%);

However, RootOf did not disappear. How should I proceed?
