How do I delete a folder with \ at the end?

[ubuntuuser1]

I made I typo in my /etc/fstab file where I told a disk to mount to /media/Windows\ Storage
It created that folder but named it "Windows\" (I guess fstab doesn't recognize the space the way the terminal does).now when I try to remove it the terminal detects \ to allow for a space and it says "cannot remove 'Windows': no such file or directory." Anyone know how I can go about deleting the folder?

Hello,

Try renaming it, then deleting it.

You're likely having trouble because of the space after the slash. When attempting to delete the folder, try using your <tab> key to auto-complete the name.

rm Windows\\
\ instructs bash to interpret the next character as text.

So, if the directory is named Windows\ Share
You would have to use \\.

Pro tip: Don't ever use spaces in file and directory names. There's just no good reason to do so; as you can see, it's only going to cause you grief. Use _ underscore instead.

Solid advice right there. I rename every single download to avoid the grief, it can be a major hassle.

EDIT: Another way to look at the folder is to use the dir command. For example:

dwhelper                              iso                        VirtualBox\ VMs
Foo\ Fighters\ -\ Greatest\ Hits.m3u  loki_update-1.0.6-x86.run  workspace

So you cannot type cd VirtualBox VMs, you'll get an error.

cd VirtualBox VMs
bash: cd: VirtualBox: No such file or directory

But if you use the output from the dir command
cd VirtualBox\ VMs
It works. Also as metioned, just use the {Tab} button to autocomplete for you.
cd Vir{Press tab once}
