I am trying to delete the following files from a directory of my unix machine:
$ ls -la
total 160
... other files ...
-rw-r--r--@ 1 username staff 171 Oct 24 2017 ~$checklist.xlsx
-rw-r--r--@ 1 username staff 171 Oct 16 2017 ~$papers.xlsx
-rw-r--r--@ 1 username staff 162 Sep 4 2017 ~$rec.docx
-rw-r--r--@ 1 username staff 162 Nov 25 21:00 ~$file1.docx
-rw-r--r--@ 1 username staff 162 Nov 25 21:01 ~$file2.docx
However, when I attempt to delete them, it won't let me for various reasons. For example:
$ rm ~$checklist.xlsx
rm: ~.xlsx: No such file or directory
$ rm $checklist.xlsx
rm: .xlsx: No such file or directory
$ rm checklist.xlsx
rm: checklist.xlsx: No such file or directory
Why won't my computer let me delete these files? How can I go about deleting them? Thanks!
