OK I'll bite, how do you get rid of a literal ~ directory?

[–] JollyGreen_sasquatch 7 points 5 days ago

A method not yet mentioned is by inode, (I've accidentally created filenames I didn't know how to escape at the time like -- or other command line flags/special characters)

ls -li

Once you get the inode

find . -type f -inum $inode -delete
