I need to know how to remove a file from my account. Some background,
I had dialed in from home, and while saving a file, some linenoise came
across and got embedded in the file name. Well, this means I can't
access this file. I have tried all of the following:
%rm -i *
%rm *
%rm -rf *
all of them returned: 'file does not exist'.
The question is: how do I get rid of this file? Any and all help will
be greatly appriciated.
Thanks in advance,
David Brenner
