Hi all
i need to know how to remove files from my desktop that have a ~ fixed to the end of them one of the problems is that the filse have spaces in their name. EX. name of the file~ doing a rm name of the file~ results in I'm stupid there is no such
directory named name or somthing to that effect. So, how do I remove
these pesky files. thay are all located on thr desktop. I can't view
them in nautilus, nor when looking at the desktop. only threw the
terminal.
Thaks for the help in advance,
Put quotes around the name to encompass the spaces as in rm 'name of the file~'
