The quotes and escapes are mangled.

cd into the directory with the folder to remove, type rm -rf ./ then press tab until the folder you’re looking for is autocompleted after the ./

It's just not escaped properly.

You can probably just get away with putting a backslash \ before the $ so it looks like \$.

Doesn't seem to work.

If you’re struggling, might as well either open a file manager like midnight commander to make your life easier.

Didn't work.

You probably don't own the folder. Use sudo.

Meaning ??

It's right here.

What's that ?

I'm unfamiliar with fish but that $'\003' also looks a lot like how bash escapes unprintable control characters (ASCII 3 is 'end of text' apparently).

You probably have sh or bash available. Try the same command in that.

sh -c "rm -rf 'folder'$'\003'"

Or just delete all directories that start with folder with confirmation (no -f):

rm -r folder*

Oh. Sudo is the special word meaning admin. So if you have a command like rm and it fails due to permissions you simply add sudo. sudo rm. But I see that your problem is the folder name. So nevermind. Maybe look at the spaces? Maybe you have tab$tab instead of space$space?

Are you sure the name is 'folder'$'\003'? I think the outer quotes might be added by ls. I would try rm -rf 'folder\'\$\'\\003'

Edit: Or rm -rf 'folder\'$\'\\003'

Ask loveespresso@retrofed.com.

Google.

a file manager

Just type rm -rf f and use tab to auto complete.
