I'm sure there would be a more intelligent way but would it be practical to
move all the other directories/files within that directory to a temporary
location, wipe out the parent directory (rm -r <parent>, which I assume
would kill off the mystery directory as well), recreate the parent, then
copy the other directories back?
Not very elegant but might do the the trick?
Cheers.....Steve.

Subject: [SLUG] Directory removal
Hi all,
A directory has been created of which we can't remove it. The reason
being is we can't see it!
I have found out how to list it in octal, which is: \033[C\033
But, how do I delete it?
Cheers,
Scott
