Hongxun,
[ This is not Cygwin-specific--it can occur on any Unix/Linux/POSIX system. ] Oh, but they can be removed using "rm." Cd to the directory in which the problematic files reside and issue this command: % rm -i * You will be presented with a prompt for each file in the directory. If you type a "y<RETURN>" the file will be removed. Other responses will leave the file in place. If the entire directory consists of such unwanted files, you can cd to the parent dir and use "rm -fr" to eradicate the directory and all its contents without being prompted. This approach does not require shell pattern matching, so sometimes (for some kinds of file names and / or on some systems) it works when the previous suggestion does not.
