It is my /home/lina/try directory. Honest speaking, I even didn't know when it showed up. And for those files inside, it looks so strange for me. might some Fortran code? or something. $ cd try/ -bash: cd: try/: Permission denied I don't feel so comfortable to disturb the root, so second thought, I will keep this directory since I can't delete.
