Re: removing a file...linux

[Jean-Philippe BATTU]

Hi Allan ;

You may know the inode number of this file by the
simple command :
ls -ail
..
<inum number> .................. -9DS3U-ppp-summary
...
 

and remove it by the find command :

find . -inum <inum number> -exec /bin/rm -i {} \;

Happy removing files !

Cheers

thanks,
allan
