rm -R folder name

Hi,

I want to delete a folder which is created by a Windows user on Samba.
The folder is called with 2 works like 'test test'.

I can remove folder via CLI rm -R test, but can't delete folder named with 2 words like 'test test'.

Is there a way to delete those folders anyway in CLI?

Thanks in advance

Try

Code:

rm -fr test\ test/

that should do it. If your having trouble with the name pressing tab in the terminal will autocomplete the name for you.

I will try this and let you know.

Tried it and this did remove the folder.

Many thanks
