Hello All, I am running the latest Kubuntu. I am unable to remove a Directory/file from my Home/Public directory. The directory contains a Windows 7 .vdi file - about 23GB
The command line is telling me that the directory doesn't exist but then lists it? Is the problem caused by a space in the name and if so how do I overcome this?
Thanks
Bob
Commands I have tried as root are below:
root@Comp-NC:/home/bob/Public# rm -rf Windows 7
root@Comp-NC:/home/bob/Public# ls Aptana Studio 3 winbox.exe Windows 7
root@Comp-NC:/home/bob/Public# cd Windows 7 bash: cd: Windows: No such file or directory
_______________________________________________ You could try rm -rf Windows\ 7 You could try rm -rf windows\ 7 The backslash is important where there are spaces in a file name. Out of curiosity you could also ls -aFl windows\ 7 to view the files, the ownerships and permissions. Roger
