I am trying to delete a folder, but unable to do so. tried my level best to delete.
Here I am giving all the steps I have tried out -

1. Output of ls -la


ls: cannot access -loop0: Permission denied
ls: cannot access -e0.7: Permission denied
total 324
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? -e0.7
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? -loop0
drwxrwxrwx 4 geeko root 4096 Feb 8 14:46 .
drwxrwxrwt 5607 root root 323584 Feb 8 17:48 ..


2. Tried to change Permission with chmod -R 777, ( chmod -R 777 "-e0.7") but did not work.

chmod -R 777 "-e0.7"
chmod: invalid option -- 'e'
Try `chmod --help' for more information.

3. Tried to change Ownership with chown -

chown -R root "-e0.7"
chown: invalid option -- 'e'
Try `chown --help' for more information.

4. rm -rf "-e0.7"
rm: invalid option -- 'e'
Try `rm --help' for more information.

5. rm -rf ../"-e0.7"
This command does not show any error, but folder is not being deleted.

6. Even I have tried to delete the folder with inode number, but failed to do so.

Tried with

ldmserver2:/tmp/.abhishek.parwal-ltspfs # rm -rf "\-e0.7"
ldmserver2:/tmp/.abhishek.parwal-ltspfs # ls -la
ls: cannot access -loop0: Permission denied
ls: cannot access -e0.7: Permission denied
total 324
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? -e0.7
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? -loop0
drwxrwxrwx 4 geeko root 4096 Feb 8 14:46 .
drwxrwxrwt 5606 root root 323584 Feb 8 18:07 ..




As per my thinking, I need to change the permission of the folder first, but unable to change.

Any help will be appreciated.

Did you try rm -R ./-e0.7 ?

Hi,

the '?' indicate that the containing folder does not have execute permissions. You will have to correct this first before you can do anything to the contents in that folder. In the folder that contains "-e0.7" issue
Then you can try again to delete it. One of the things you tried should work. If not, then post again the output of
ls -al
lsattr

Try implementing acl to the folder and deleting it.

Thankssssss...... Problem has been solved....

With reference to the below link -

P.S : Sayan da.... If possible... please help

Hi,

try giving chmod 777 <filename>

As this is related to the linked thread, I have merged the two threads.

I'd suggest you to go one directory up and try to give full permission on that recursively using the -R option, see if that helps.


Err.......Are you bengali too? :O Don't know if you are eligible to call me "da", what is your age? I'm 23.
