How to remove directory name with special characters and directories with env variable name on UNIX
For the junk names, it would be easiest to construct a wildcard that would catch only them. Select a readable portion of the name (e.g. the _6 substring) and wrap it in asterisks. First try it out:
ls *_6*If it lists only the junk name, proceed to delete it:
rm *_6*If it lists other names as well, try to make the wildcard more specific, using other readable characters in the name:
ls *w*_6*tP*N*x*Proceed until you've found a wildcard that would match only unwanted files.
Determine inode numbers of necessary files/folders:
# ls -ila 14549980 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 5 20:45 ">?<And pipeline it to rm:
find . -inum 14549980 -exec rm -ir {} \;
if you create a directory like --rw-r-r--. to delete this file do the followingrm -rf ./--rw-r-r--
