There is a problem today. A file name is "- MXV9.log". An error will be reported when deleting it directly with rm, as follows:

[localhost] rm-MXV9.logrm: illegal option-- Mrm: illegal option-- Xrm: illegal option-- Vrm: illegal option-- 9rm: illegal option-- .RM: illegal option-- lrm: illegal option-- orm: illegal option-- gUsage: rm [- Rfir] file.

Usually, this type of file can be deleted in quotation marks, but deletion in quotation marks also reports the error of illegal option.

After finding some information, it is found that this kind of file can be deleted as follows: first ls-I to find the inode of the file, and then delete it with the find command

[localhost] ls-ilrt100985-rw-r--r-- 1 tbcs users 0 Apr 18 11:32-MXV9.log

The 100985 in the first column is the inode of the file. You can delete the file by executing the following command on the host

[localhost] find. /-inum 100985-exec rm {}\; Thank you for reading! This is the end of this article on "how to delete garbled or special character files under Linux".
