意外创建了带句点的目录。 特点

Question

Don't ask how, but I've somehow created a directory name with a single period character (.) and, as that is a special character for directory navigation, I have no idea how to remove it!

drwxr-xr-x 6 admin admin    4096 Nov 30 14:16 ./
drwxr-xr-x 6 root  root     4096 May 18  2022 ../
-snipped output-
drwxr-xr-x 2 admin users    4096 Nov 30 14:10 ．/   <-- this one

Any ideas? Thank you

It's not the same dot as . , it's Unicode's FULLWIDTH FULL STOP . Just copy & paste the name to rmdir :

rmdir ．

Or use something that understands unicode names:

perl -e 'rmdir "\N{FULLWIDTH FULL STOP}" or die $!'
