Thank you ALL for very good respond!
MY PROBLEM:
d--------- 2 owner group 512 Oct 29 15:00 directory\012
How do I remove this directory?
There are two problems here, one the directory has no permission,
two the directory name has the none-printable character \012.
SOLUTION:
First I need to set the permission right and then I can remove
the directory. What I did with success was following:
$ chmod 777 directory*
$ rm -ri directory*
rm examine files in directory directory
(yes/no)? yes
rm: remove directory
: (yes/no)? yes
$
This is the solution I used. There where some other suggestions
which I could not test (had just one directory), like
$ rmdir -i directory*
etc...
