Hello Folks,

Good day.

I created a text file in AIX. Filename is SCPBackup.cfg with a mode of 777.
Now I no longer need it. I used rm -f <filename> to remove it but it cannot be deleted. It returns this error.

rm: SCPBackup.cfg: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

But it does exist.

total 3
-rwxrwxrwx 1 aaaaaaa aaaaaaaa 150 Mar 13 14:59 SCPBackup.cfg
-rwxrwxrwx 1 aaaaaaa aaaaaaaa 808 Mar 13 19:49 scpbkp.sh

Now I have to delete it if not for aesthetics... for my peace of mind. Any other way to delete this file?



Thanks in advance.

The file name might have other characters at the end e.g. spaces, Try
rm -i SCPBackup.cfg*

Cool. Thanks it worked. Many many thanks. I wonder how that extra charcter ended up there.
