How to delete a directory what ends in " ???

[WinblowsME]

Try the following code in the Public folder.

find . -inum 61 -exec rm -rf {} \;

I am sorry to be such a new-dweeb... and I am VERY grateful for all this TLC from everyone...

here's what I get when I try the node method:

# find . -inum 61 -exec rm -rf {} \;
BusyBox v1.00 (2006.01.07-21:42+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: find [PATH...] [EXPRESSION]

#

(sigh)

I have no idea what that means.

If you have the ability to use a GUI file browser (Nautilus under Gnome, Konqueror under KDE, dunno what under XFCE), you can probably do it that way. If you find you need root permissions to delete or see the directory, you can launch the browser from terminal with sudo.

Also, in your previous command (the cd), you have to escape the " with a \. Not a /, a \.
