Full Discussion: How to remove a directory called "--"
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users How to remove a directory called "--" Post 302276288 by avronius on Tuesday 13th of January 2009 11:58:26 AM
Old 01-13-2009
First thing that I'd recommend, is to make a backup of /export/home/usr1

Then, from the /XXX/XXXX/XX/XXXX/dir1 directory, run this command:
Code:
rm -rf ./--<filename>

...
If it was a file, you could easily delete it via it's inode number
Code:
ls -il
find . -inum <number>| xargs rm
