I have a directory tree with a lot of duplicate "leaves".

The command "rm -r <junkfile>" does not work, saying:
"cannot lstat '<junkfile>'"


Does it give any more information in the error message? Usually such errors
are followed by the exact system call error string. An exact copy/paste of
the output would help. I suspect maybe the file name is specified
incorrectly.

I even seeded the root of this tree with one of these files but still
the rm command did not recurse.


I'm not sure what you mean by "seeded".
