remove directory with non-printable character directory name

[Ridzuan Zakaria]

Hi,

Could someone please let me know how to remove a directory with non-printable characters?

$ ls -ldb *
drwxr-sr-x 2 oracle dba 96 May 25 2004 \010\010\010\010

Thanks.

How about removing it interactively as...

# rm -iR *

...answer (y)es only to the specific directory you want deleted.

Hi,

How about removing the inode of the directory.

# ls -i

# find . -xdev -inum xxx -exec rm {} \;

Hi,

As far as I see, the name consists of 4 characters.
Try to do
#>ls -ldb ????
If the answer is only for this directory, run
#> rm -r ????
