Can not delete files containing special characters in the file name
I just found out how to delete such files witch special characters:
-
cd <directory with that file> -
ls -ali -
At the very left of the directory listing you see the ID of the inode of each file.
-
Delete your file via inode ID:
find . -inum <inode ID of your file> -exec rm -i {} \;
This worked fine for my issue. Hope this helps!
You could use bash wildcards with
rm b?r.jpg
where ? stands for exactly one character. An alternative (if both file names were the same length) would be
rm b[!e]r.jpg
where [!e] means any character except "e".
