I have a shell script RemoveFiles.sh

But in the same directory that I executed the SCRIPT, I tried to execute the COMMANDs by themselves. They work!!! All files are removed accordingly.

Hopefully someone can help with this problem.

Many thanks in advance
In which directory did you execute this script ? The problem could be the relative path construct ../..
