I've got a seemingly un-deletable directory in Unix that contains some hidden files with names that start with .panfs. I'm unable to delete it using either of these commands:
rm -R <dir>
rm -Rf <dir>
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Try to delete it with root user or use sudo, if you are in trouble
Use rm -rf dir with root account and it will be deleted, since you should be facing a permissions issue.
