Hi Praveen
Your bad directory shows as "usf3pres3" in an ordinary listing, but you
saw the ^H when you did the cat -vet. You need to note the other
character - the one that the backspace hides. It is the one just before
the ^H.
For the sake of the following instruction, assume it is an X and the odd
characters are before the second "s". That means the cat -vet displays:
usf3preX^Hs3
Then rename the directory using:
mv usf3preX?s3 unwanted
The "?" will substitute for the ^H.
Once you have renamed it, you can do what you like with it.
G'day from down under,
Jef...
