  1. Default can't delete some dirs and files i created before on A1

    wrote a script to create a dir on the phone and copy some files over to the /ezx_user/download/appwrite/setup directory. the script got messed up because of UTF/DOS/UNIX encoding and now i have some files and dirs with a space in it ("ezx_idle.cfg " and "ezx_idle.cfg 2" for example) and can't seem to delete them anymore. i tried rm -df for the firs and rm -f for the files. writing the filename with "" and as ezx_idle.cfg\ 2 but it doesn't seem to do anything. i also tried using wildcards. i had the responses and errors redirected to a file, but nothing shows up in there.

    any insight?

    managed to delete the files with spaces in and at the end of them. used a file manager hack i glanced from some chinese forum. here's how:

    create a script that loads your .profile, changes the shell variable MY_STUFF_PATH=// so it's set to root, then fireup mystuff (the file manager) and you have access to your whole system through the filemanager. and deleting the files with spaces from within the file manager isn't a problem.
