Try placing the directory name in quotes "" or single quotes ''
Eg. rm -fr "test"

Subject: How to kill a dir?

I have a dir that I can't seem to delete and is giving strange errors..

[root at dev02 i386]# ls
ls: ??*?: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
test
[root at dev02 i386]# rm -rf test
rm: cannot remove directory `test': Directory not empty
[root at dev02 i386]# cd test
[root at dev02 test]# ls
ls: : No such file or directory

Anyone got any super commands for getting rid of a directory that just 
will not go?

Thanks..

Later..
