How to delete a file called "-gzip"?
Hi,
this is a completely stupid thing I did. I wanted to make a zipped tar
archive of my complete user home account and write it to MOD.
Unfortunately I used the following line:
tar -cvvf -gzip /mod/name-of-archive folder-name
Now my home-partition is 100 % full and I don´t know how to delete that
-gzip file! :-(
Gee, why doesn´t tar realize that things starting with "-" are no file
names.
I tried
rm "-gzip"
rm ´-gzip´
rm \-gzip
None of these worked.
What is the trick? (There must be one ...)
Regards,
Kerstin
