Delete garbled or special character files under Linux

Today encountered a problem, a filename is "-mxv9.log", directly with RM deleted when the error, as follows:

[Localhost]rm-mxv9.logrm:illegal Option--mrm:illegal option--xrm:illegal option--vrm:illegal option--9rm:ill Egal option--. Rm:illegal option--lrm:illegal option--orm:illegal option--gusage:rm [-rfir] File ...

This type of file can usually be removed in quotation marks , but it is also quoted as illegal option error.

After finding some information, we find that this kind of file can be deleted: first ls-i The inode of the file and then delete it with the Find command .

[localhost]ls-ilrt100985-rw-r--r--  1 TBCs      users            0 Apr 11:32-mxv9.log

100985 of the first column is the inode of the file, and the file can be deleted by executing the following command on the host

[Localhost]find./-inum 100985-exec rm {} \;

So you can try this method when you encounter files that have file names that are garbled or that have special characters to delete.
