I was moving a file and intended to type " mv thefile.tar.gz ~/ " so
that it would be moved to my home directory, but by mistake I typed
" mv thefile.tar.gz /~ ". Now I have a 800k file named ~ on / . I
tried to "mv ~ normalfilename" and this does create a normal file, but
the ~ file still exists. If I try to "rm ~ " the system thinks I want
to delete my home directory.
Ok now that everyone is finished laughing, what do I do? Will I ever be
able to remove this silly ~ file. As always thank you for any help
Tom
