something like this is with:

the unix way would be, first to find out the inum:
ls -i
of the file, and than erase it by find:
find . -inum 12345 -exec rm {} \;
where 12345 should be the inum of the file.

Re: [expert] Undeletable file found in mailbox file need help.
There are non-printed characters in the file name. The only way to clear up something like this is with: rm -ir cur (as root) and answer each file with yes.

Re: [expert] Undeletable file found in mailbox file need help.
Another quick-n-dirty workaround is to use a file manager to delete it - e.g. mc. On Wed, 2003-01-01 at 16:58, Tom wrote: There are non-printed characters in the file name.

You need to use:

No you don't.
Check the permissions on cur/[bla_file] and see if you have write

you need to check ownership of these directories file ('ls -l'):
even if their permissions are 755 , you won't be able to delete it,
if any of them is owned eg by 'root'. to change ownership
'su' then 'chown name:name *' or simply 'rm' as root.
