removing a -- directory
Hi all,
I need to delete a directory that was somehow accidentally created by one the users. The directory contains two -- before the name... i.e. --dir1 and --dir2 When I try to use rmdir or rm -r '--dir1', it says unrecognised option. How can I delete such directories. ricc

Prefix -- before dirname i.e. Code:
rm -r -- '--dir1'
