delete unix directory
I installed membersgear into my website and decided it was not right for me. I issued rm -r on directory membersgear and it deleted everything except the subdirectory templates_c. I have found several directories in this directory which are named like %%114. Ownership on these directories drwxr-xr-x 32 pdinardo users 8192 Oct 21 22:08 ..
drwxrwxrwx 3 paul users 4096 Oct 21 19:31 .
drwxrwxrwx 13 paul users 4096 Oct 21 19:27 templates_c. When I go into templates_c and do a ls -lta I get
drwxr-x--x 3 apache apache 4096 Oct 21 19:27 %%170
drwxr-x--x 3 apache apache 4096 Oct 21 19:27 %%329

drwxr-x--x 3 apache apache 4096 Oct 21 19:11 %%114
