Had this with a file a long time ago that I stupidly named with some regex
patterns in it. Try something like this:
1> open a file, vi /tmp/delete.pl
2> Put said contents in file
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $baddir;
my $file;
my $files;
my $x;
$baddir = '/tmp/foo';
opendir(DIR, "$baddir") or die "could not open dir $baddir\n";
while ($_ = readdir(DIR)) {
$file = "$baddir/$_";
if ($file ne "$baddir/.") {
if ($file ne "$baddir/..") {
push(@files, "$file");
}
}
}
closedir DIR;
for ($x = 0; $x < @files; $x++) {
print "chowning file $files[$x]\n";
chown(0,0,"$files[$x]") or die "could not chown file $files[$x]\n";
print "chmoding file $files[$x]\n";
chmod(0666, "$files[$x]") or die "could not chmod file $files[$x]\n";
print "deleting file $files[$x]\n";
unlink("$files[$x]") or die "could not delete file $file\n";
}
print "chowning dir $baddir\n";
chown(0,0,"$baddir") or die "could not chown dir $baddir\n";
print "chmoding dir $baddir\n";
chmod(0777, "$baddir") or die "could not chmod dir $baddir\n";
print "deleteing dir $baddir\n";
rmdir("$baddir") or die "could not delete dir $baddir\n";
print "done\n";
3> In the above, change '/tmp/foo' to the path (full path) of the dir in
question.
4> chmod 755 /tmp/delete.pl
5> as root run delete.pl
Hopefully you'll be in luck. Sorry for the sucky perl.
