Is that space meant to be there? if so the correct command should be sudo rm -fr /mnt/home/Documents/MCDST\ d2 not the -fr the f means force and the r is recusive so it removes the complete directory.
thats how it appears in the folder, I bought some software off ebay to try and become MCDST certified, and learning about linux as well as windows is frustrating, I only bought thie netbook so I could read ebooks and tbh I love it, dont want to put xp on it really but I'm still baffled as to how to use it, apparently to uninstall a program you go to the repository window? when I go there I cant see any options to do this. rpm fusion. thunar, wine, etc etc, very confsusing.
Ignore the gui use the terminal. Try Code: cd /mnt/home/Documents/MCDST if this gives an error "No such file or directory" then Try Code: cd /mnt/home/Documents/MCDST\ d2 if this puts you in the folder you want to be in then you need to inlcude the space in the rm command to delete the folder.
Interesting, I did the first one and got bash: cd: /mnt/home/Documents/MCDST: no such file or directory and for the second I got this [user@localhost MCDST d2]$ I installed wine last night and have just been looking at it, then I noticed the niussance folder so I deleted it from inside the wine aplication and its worked, the folder has gone, I dont understand why, the only difference was in the wine directory the folder was on Z drive. Anyway, thanks for all your help and I doubt this will be my last problem. Daz wait a minute, i've been re-reading your posts again, when i type this command in:- sudo rm -fr /mnt/home/Documents/MCDST\ d2 it just goes onto the next line but when i put a space in between sudo rm -fr /mnt/home/Documents/MCDST\ d2 it drops the cursur down but without the [user@localhost] is it trying to do something? What does this mean, has it put me in the folder so to speak? not sure if you meant it'll open the folder and show the contents etc. Daz Ps, when i try to copy the files into the folder it seems to work but when it gets to the 2 files which it cant delete it asks do you want to replace, i click yes and the copying just hangs, says 6minutes remaining and stays there, not sure if this is relevant but thought it might be worth something.
