> How could I remove a file before and after which there is #: > #file#
The shell is seeing '# something something' as a comment. You need to quote it so that it won't see it as a comment and won't strip it. rm './#file#' Those quotes keep it from looking like a comment. They could be '' or "" or the individual characters could be quoted with \# but I prefer quoted strings myself over quoted characters.
