Hello. I accidentally SC’ed some files onto my server, and now I cannot delete them. Specifically, the files are in Unicode (Russian) and I cannot type them into my terminal. I thought that if there was a way to just unlink the inodes, this would do what I want. Is there any way to find the inode of a file and delete it? One of the files (there are two) is a directory.

eh...

cd /diretory with the files in it/
rm -i *
n

(ah, the russian thinger!)
y

yeah.

find /the/directory -inum the_inode_number -exec rm ''{}'' \;

Similarly for the directory, but "rmdir" that one. Or add a -r after the "rm".

yeah.

That worked perfectly. I had to ad -r to it to delete the directory. Thank you.
