How to remove a directory name with space and special charactors

Post by sachin »

Hello All,

I have a directory name with start with "\211". I am not able to delete this directory using simple rm command. Getting error message as directory not found.

If there any way I can delete such directories having weird name

I think you can try to remove the directory with their inode value.
