I don't now exactly how I did it, but I created a file named " -C "

cexdi:/home1 $ls -lt
total 1801336
-rw------- 1 cexdi ced-group 922275840 23 mars 10:03 -C

How do I delete this file ?

cexdi:/home1 $rm -C
rm: invalid option -- C
Syntax : rm [-Rfir] filename ...

Doesn't work... I'm stuck.

Found it.

bash-3.00# mkdir tata
bash-3.00# cd tata
bash-3.00# rm ../"-C"

many ways of doing it,

1) give the full path and delete
2) find the inode no and delete through that
3) rm \-C

Long way.

Do a rm -i. This will prompt you 1 file at a time.

Works good if dirs are small or your scared of what might happen.

-X

two very ways to do this:

1.) rm -- -r
2.) rm ./-r

Beauty lies in Simplicity!!!!!!

You can delete filename with full path

let me see

rm <filename_path> <filename>

or
rm <filename_path> *-C
