Just using single quotes would have been sufficient:<br />
<br />
rm -rf &nbsp;'ec-user\r'<br />
<br />
The link you found deals with renaming, not removing (yet it helps).<br />
<br />
Renaming can be done with single quotes as well:<br />
<br />
mv 'ec-user\r' ec-user<br />
<br />
wmp

if it can be renamed as normal direcotry name , it is of course that &nbsp;can be deleted

Sure. <br />
<br />
But why the extra effort of renaming before deleting when a single step is sufficient, just by using single quotes?

Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
Somehow, I found on my root directory in which it <br />
has direcotry named ec2-user\r/ that I want<br />
to delete it. But it can not do that by<br />
<br />
rm -rf ec2-user\r<br />
<br />
or <br />
rm -rf &nbsp;&quot;ec-user\r&quot;<br />
<br />
Probably the directory is created by my wrong script with &quot;\r&quot; putting to the directory<br />
name.<br />
<br />
How I can I delete it<br />
<br />
Pleaea advise<br />

Dear Experts,

Somehow, I found on my root directory in which it 
has direcotry named ec2-user\r/ that I want
to delete it. But it can not do that by

rm -rf ec2-user\r

or 
rm -rf  "ec-user\r"

Probably the directory is created by my wrong script with "\r" putting to the directory
name.

How I can I delete it

Pleaea advise
