How to remove a filename with strange characters on Linux
I learnt how to remove a filename with strange characters in its name.
I say:
ls -li
to get the inode number,
and then delete the file with:
find . -type f -inum 155192 -exec rm {} \;
I adapted this from an article on 'distrowatch.com'
I tried to use the graphical file manager 'Midnight Commander' but I have mapped the function keys it uses to letters that do not work anymore on my keyboard. I can use 'Midnight Commander' outside of X Windows though.
My old 'find' command does not support the '-delete' option.
