Have a file named ~ (tilde) in my home-directory
I just noticed that I have a file called ~
in my ~
-directory.
$ ls -la ~
...
-rw-r----- 1 x1 x1 733962240 Mar 1 17:55 ~
...
Any idea how I can mv
or rm
it?
The pretty much ultimate solution when it comes to files that can't be deleted by normal means:
ls -il
The first column will show the inode number of the files.
find . -inum [inode-number] -exec rm -i {} \;
This will delete the file with the specified inode-number after verification.
You should be able to refer to that file as ~/~
(without quotes) because tilde-expansion only applies the the tilde (~
) at the very beginning of the word.
