Thank you ALL for very good respond! MY PROBLEM: d--------- 2 owner group 512 Oct 29 15:00 directory\012 How do I remove this directory? There are two problems here, one the directory has no permission, two the directory name has the none-printable character \012. SOLUTION: First I need to set the permission right and then I can remove the directory. What I did with success was following: $ chmod 777 directory* $ rm -ri directory* rm examine files in directory directory (yes/no)? yes rm: remove directory : (yes/no)? yes $ This is the solution I used. There where some other suggestions which I could not test (had just one directory), like $ rmdir -i directory* etc... THANKS TO: Sarah Eckhause (this solution) Alberto Lopez Lars Hecking Rafael Angarita Casper Dik Dave Floyd Chris L. Anderson John E Riddoch Martin Hepworth Ed Rolison Frank Velazquez ... and many more ...
