How to delete unknown file that doesn't have proper permissions
My co-worker sent me a theme in a tar.gz file and I tried unzipping it using the archive manager GUI as I usually do for any kind of zipped file. However, it produced a corrupt file/directory that I can no longer delete.
Note that the working directory is in a directory I created in my home folder.
ls -l produces
??????????? ? ? ? ? ? Alt_Elementary_Dark
Right click properties menu says that the permissions could not be determined, and all info is 'unknown' (like size,accessed,modified)
Type is said to be 'Binary (application/octet-stream)', though it should have been a directory.
What I've done to try and remove:
$ sudo rm -rfv Alt_Elementary_Dark
rm: cannot remove ‘Alt_Elementary_Dark’: Permission denied
$ sudo rmdir Alt_Elementary_Dark
rmdir: failed to remove ‘Alt_Elementary_Dark’: Permission denied
$ sudo touch Alt_Elementary_Dark
touch: cannot touch ‘Alt_Elementary_Dark’: Permission denied
$ mv Alt_Elementary_Dark renamed_to_remove
mv: cannot stat ‘Alt_Elementary_Dark’: Permission denied
$ sudo mv Alt_Elementary_Dark renamed_to_remove
mv: failed to access ‘renamed_to_remove’: Permission denied
$ sudo ls -ld Alt_Elementary_Dark
ls: cannot access Alt_Elementary_Dark: Permission denied
Is there some other way I can remove this corrupt, unknown directory?

It looks like the filesystem does not have any information about the file. Try runningtouchon the file:touch Alt_Elementary_Dark

If it is associated with (application/octet-stream) it is probably a print file of some sort (gs, ps, or pcl). There are a lot of possibilities, but if you go to the cups interface or /etc/cups you should be able to see the print jobs. One is probably stuck and was moved there when a script when wrong.

This file has persisted over restart so I don't believe it to be a stuck job of any sort. I also don't think this has to do with postscript to pdf because it should have just been a directory that got unzipped, there are no pdf's in what the directory should of contained.
