How to delete garbled or special character files in Linux? I believe that many inexperienced people are at a loss about this, so this article summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem. Through this article, I hope you can solve this problem.

In the linux file system, each file has an I-node number, which can be managed by the I-node number. First go to the directory where the garbled file or directory is located

Use the ls-I command to find the inode of a file or directory

The numeric string in front of the file or directory is inode, and then use the find command to query and delete the file or directory.

Note: this method applies only to deleting files or empty folders.

How to delete a non-empty folder?

First of all, check inode, and then use the following command:

Find-inum 2236429-exec rm-rf {}\

You will be prompted that the file or folder cannot be found, but it has actually been deleted.

How to delete files with garbled or special characters under Linux.

There is a problem today. A file name is "- MXV9.log". When you delete it directly with rm, you will report an error.

[localhost] rm-MXV9.log

Rm: illegal option-- M

Rm: illegal option-- X

Rm: illegal option-- V

Rm: illegal option-- 9

Rm: illegal option.

Rm: illegal option-- l

Rm: illegal option-- o

Rm: illegal option-- g

Usage: rm [- Rfir] file...

I began to think about deleting with quotation marks, and found that deleting with quotation marks also reported illegal option's mistake.

I found some information and found that this kind of file can be deleted in this way.

Ls-I first finds the inode of the file, and then deletes 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 {}\

This method is suitable for deleting files with garbled file names or special characters.

For example, if the file name is "* .txt", if you execute rm * .txt directly, all files ending in .txt in the folder will be deleted.
