I have a user that reated a folder and the folder is now not showing up. I do an ls -ltra and I receive the following:

drwxr-xr-x 2 admin site2 1024 Jun 30 08:04 11

So I want to remove it and I use

rm -rf 11

And I get nothing so I do an ls -ltra again and receive the folder still being there.

drwxr-xr-x 2 admin site2 1024 Jun 30 08:04 11


So I try a rmdir

and I receive the following

rmdir 11
rmdir: 11: No such file or directory

The folder shows up via the web page, and you can actually go into the folder. If you try FTP or command line you end up with errors.

cd 11
sh: 11: No such file or directory


Any Ideas how to remove this folder?

My first swag would be if the directory didn't show up it is hidden and/or may contain non visible ASCII characters.

Now, if you open up a file browser can you see the directory.
Assuming KDE or the like is running. You might be able to delete it from Konqueor. Midnight Commander i.e. mc is a good tool for this kind of problem.

It is a samba or file system machine. It is actually a web server. Which is what is odd.
