Hi Wesley, brilliant video. Thank you for helping me get rid of an emoticon file. Just one suggestion that I hope will help everyone. Tried getting rid of a filename with an emoticon at the beginning and end of the filename but it didn't work because there was no letter at the start. Used * (asterisk) and then part of the filename as in your video but this didn't work either then remembered my early work on computers that said that you needed asterisk(midstring)asterisk to identify the full name. So what you need is an asterisk * then a part of the filename that is identifiable, followed by another asterisk * and then you are sorted. My dodgy file was emoticon, filename, emoticon. The filename included Indy so I sorted it by using * Indy * and followed Wesley's instructions. Many thanks again, Bill
Thank you. I had file names that appeared empty in the terminal, so I decided to copy okay-files to my PC and used "rm -r directory-name" to delete the entire directory of corrupted files and freed so much storage I didn't think was possible to.
Excellent video ! Your instructions worked perfectly on my smartphone.The only mistake that I made was that I named a folder in which my "undeletable" file was consisted of 2 words.Error message: too many arguments.Took me 5 minutes before I realised that I have to rename the folder.From now on I will not using a space between new folder names. Thanks for the video - appreciated
OMG thank you very much after looking through so many videos finally it works with your method once again thank you for this detailed well explain tutorial ❤️
Did you find the solution by any chance? I have the exact same issue. When I do a "ls", I do see the file, but when I try « rm [file_name] », it says « rm: cannot remove '[file_name]': No such file or directory ». I really hope you have the solution, because I'm at my wit's end.
I did everything, but when I hit enter, it said, "rm: cannot remove '[name of the file I wanted deleted]/' : Is a directory" Please, help, my man, I really need to delete this file.
I'm having trouble removing the folders themselves, and whenever I try It says "cannot remove 'blank': is a directory". I tried formatting my SD card and everything.
Lost 3 gb storage due to this 0kb 1970 file , i searched RUclips but not get this video then and even post the question to several tech pages and finally may even thought to factory reset , idk somehow this video get recommend and i have experience with using termux so things get easy. All i want to say is Thankyou.
