Some program makes ta my root directory dummy files such as
-1
-2
-3
...
-n
I run unsuccessfully
rm -1
and too
rm "-1"
Terminal thinks that -1 is the option.
How can you remove the files in terminal?
You can use
rm ./-1, the ./ refers to the current directory and as the parameter doesn’t start with a dash it isn’t interpreted as an option.
