I created a file with a special character and can't delete it, can you help me?
Many operating systems have special characters, called 'meta-characters', which carry special meanings.
The way to delete such an item from a shell is to surround the file or directory name in quotes i.e.
rm -r "~dirname"
If this does not work open a ticket with tech support and we will delete the file or directory for you.
