====== Remove files or directories with strange names ======

You sometime encounter files/directories with none printable characters in the name.
In order to remove such files/directories use the inode reference.

First find the inode of the file/directory

  ls -il
  
Output (example):

 73302 drwx------. 2 root root 4096 May 14 14:10  05??

Remove the directory and all content:
  find . -inum 73302 -exec rm -rfi {} \;

You can leave the i (interactive) if you don't want any questions
