How can one in bash delete files whose filename contain asterisks? I mean, using wildcards. If I do
rm -fr *filter*
I will delete all files in which the word “filter” appears in the filename, but what when the files do contain asterisk?
EDIT: Following your advice, I am not able to delete this
*filter*xyz*.data
rm -rf \*filter\*orrm -rf '*filter*'
