delete fle #a.c# created by emacs on coomand line rm dosen't work

what was it you typed? and what was the error got.

You make sure the file is there by typing:
ls

Which should print out the contents of a folder.

I've had to get rid of these annoying files also and I believe I used the shred -u method. Are you using rm by itself or rm -f? That would make a difference as well.

try to escape # with \
rm -f \#a.c\#

Thanks
 

I just forgetten basics # is used in shell for comment, so i am getting message as too few arguments. Thanks for reminding me to use escape \# seq.
