Bug Cannot delete no permission file
I am trying to delete a folder, but unable to do so. tried my level best to delete.
Here I am giving all the steps I have tried out -

1. Output of ls -la
Code:
ls: cannot access -loop0: Permission denied
ls: cannot access -e0.7: Permission denied
total 324
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? -e0.7
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? -loop0
drwxrwxrwx 4 geeko root 4096 Feb 8 14:46 .
drwxrwxrwt 5607 root root 323584 Feb 8 17:48 ..


2. Tried to change Permission with chmod -R 777, ( chmod -R 777 "-e0.7") but did not work.
Code:
chmod -R 777 "-e0.7"
chmod: invalid option -- 'e'
Try `chmod --help' for more information.

3. Tried to change Ownership with chown -
Code:
chown -R root "-e0.7"
chown: invalid option -- 'e'
Try `chown --help' for more information.

4.
Code:
rm -rf "-e0.7"
rm: invalid option -- 'e'
Try `rm --help' for more information.

5.
Code:
rm -rf ../"-e0.7"

This command does not show any error, but folder is not being deleted.

6. Even I have tried to delete the folder with inode number, but failed to do so.


As per my thinking, I need to change the permission of the folder first, but unable to change.

Any help will be appreciated.

delete_clearinghouse

delete clearinghouse(1m)												  delete clearinghouse(1m)

NAME

       delete clearinghouse - Deletes the specified clearinghouse from the local server system

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp delete clearinghouse clearinghouse-name

ARGUMENT

       The full name of the clearinghouse.

DESCRIPTION

       The  delete clearinghouse command deletes a clearinghouse from the local server system.	CDS does not permit you to delete a cleared clear-
       inghouse. Before you can delete a cleared clearinghouse, you must recreate it using the create clearinghouse command.

       The delete clearinghouse command automatically deletes all read-only replicas  from a clearinghouse.  CDS does not permit you to  delete  a
       clearinghouse  that  contains a master replica.	See the  DCE Directory Service module of the DCE Administration Guide for more information
       about handling master replicas when deleting a clearinghouse.

   Permissions Required
       You must have write and delete permission to the clearinghouse and administer permission to all directories  that  store  replicas  in  the
       clearinghouse.	The server principal needs delete permission to the associated clearinghouse object entry and administer permission to all
       directories that store replicas in the clearinghouse.

NOTES

       It is recommended that you delete all replicas except the root before issuing this command.

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLE

       The following command deletes a	clearinghouse  named  /.:/sales/Orion_CH  from	the  local  server  system:  cdscp>  delete  clearinghouse
       /.:/sales/Orion_CH

RELATED INFORMATION

       Commands:  clear clearinghouse(1m), create clearinghouse(1m), list clearinghouse(1m), set cdscp preferred clearinghouse(1m), show clearing-
       house(1m), show cdscp preferred clearinghouse(1m)
