Hi,

If you run ls -lib in the directory, this will show both the Inode number and if there are any non-printable characters in the filenames.

To remove the file you should run - without the quotation marks!

Code:
find . -inum "NNNNNN" -print

Or

Code:
find . -inum "NNNNNN" -exec ls -l {} \;

If this returns what you expect you can then run.

Code:
find . -inum "NNNNN" -exec rm -i {} \;

Make sure the first find returns the required result.

Regards

Gull04
