root directories/files to delete
Hi, Being a Linux newbie I need your help.... On my Readynas Ultra 2 Plus root directory I have some files with strange names. I don't know what they are and if I can delete them without corrupting ...
Ok I fix it using the following commands ....
First list bad file with inode e.g.
$ ls –il
Output
14071947 -rw-r--r-- 1 michele dba 0 2010-01-27 15:49 \-®Å
Note: 14071947 is inode number.
Now Use find command to delete file by inode:
$ find . -inum 14071947 -exec rm -f {} \;
It will find that bad file and will remove it with force i.e remove without prompt.
