I’m really curious: without cheating by using the GUI, what would be the proper way to delete such an obnoxiously-named directory? Would “$PWD/~” work?

- r3jjs 3y agoA few ways. rm ./~ is likely the easiest. Another option, shell dependent, would be to turn off shell globbing. The `GNU` version of `find` has a `-maxdepth` option so find . -iname '~' -maxdepth 1 -exec rm {} \; would work, but I don't like relying on `GNU` extensions.
