Hi there,
I dont know exactly if this is the right place to post but i'll give it a try.
in my home folder i find a folder named "_Oo`^,^Bwz^C^_;IPX@{^YCݪuntc\EJ^L)4y^GR+^D^X-_<o^_z"
thats quite annoying, so i tried to remove it. deleting it in dolphin it says »folder does not exist«, via ls i also find this folder, but either copying the displayed filename or trying to tab it does not succeed to delete that folder.
is also tryed fsck checking my home partition, but it says »clean«.
how the problem occurred: i am not sure, but i think it is some binary rubbish i got when i was experimenting with rpm2cpio missleading the output.
so long and thanks for all…

" rm -rf folder"from a terminal
(be careful when using -rf )

if no other file ends in "z", try "rm -rf *z"
i run into similar issues when some files have either invalid unicode or some other type of encoding that cant be read, and usually finding a letter that matches works, as long as it's not too similar to other files. usually i end up moving other things out of the way first and then doing rm -rf *, but in your case it's in the home folder
[edit] i'm sure there's a better/more correct/l33+ way to do it

"I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here:
Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill?"
