1) Don't crosspost.
2) You've essentially answered your own question. Tildes at the
beginning of pathnames are relative to a home directory. Tildes
elsewhere in a path are not. So, to remove a directory named ~,
use rmdir ./~ as below:
%mkdir ./~
%ls -ld ./~
drwxr-xr-x 2 ajk wheel 512 Dec 30 13:56 ./~
%rmdir ~
rmdir: /home/alec: Permission denied
%rmdir ./~
