Thanks a lot all and especially (Smiling Dragon ) for your reply.It really helped me i can see the space in second one after R5.So i here is what i did to remove the contents first inside it.



Code:
root@us000xyz # ls -li |grep us000xyz_R5|cat -vet
       
     42734 drwxrwxrwx  35 root     other         37 Aug 25 19:38 us000xyz_R5$
     89538 drwxr-xr-x   3 oracle   dba          512 Aug 25 19:20 us000xyz_R5 $
root@us000xyz #

Code:
root@us000xyz # cd "us000xyz_R5 " --there is space here after R5
root@us000xyz # ls -lrt
total 2
drwxr-xr-x   3 oracle   dba          512 Aug 25 19:20 test
root@us000xyz # rm -r test

Below option could have also helped but i wanted to be absolutely sure to check contents by changing directory what i am deleting Smilie

CLRI(8) 						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						   CLRI(8)

NAME
clri -- clear an inode SYNOPSIS
clri special_device inode_number ... DESCRIPTION
Clri is obsoleted for normal file system repair work by fsck(8). Clri zeros out the inodes with the specified inode number(s) on the filesystem residing on the given special_device. The fsck(8) utility is usually run after clri to reclaim the zero'ed inode(s) and the blocks previously claimed by those inode(s). Both read and write permission are required on the specified special_device. The primary purpose of this routine is to remove a file which for some reason is not being properly handled by fsck(8). Once removed, it is anticipated that fsck(8) will be able to clean up the resulting mess. SEE ALSO
fsck(8), fsdb(8), icheck(8), ncheck(8) BUGS
If the file is open, the work of clri will be lost when the inode is written back to disk from the inode cache. 4th Berkeley Distribution April 19, 1994 4th Berkeley Distribution
