Without booting to Linux, how do you delete a directory that was created in Linux on an NTFS partition that contains a pipe in the file name?
For example:
f:\flac\foreign\Yoshida_Brothers\Best_of_Yoshida_Brothers_|_Tsugaru_Shamisen
Tried and failed:
- Midnight Commander
- Recursively deleting the parent folder
del /f /s /q Yoshida_Brothersdel /f /s /q "\\?f:\flac\foreign\Yoshida_Brothers\"rmdir /s Yoshida_Brothersrmdir Best*- FileASSASSIN
- Cannot delete folder
Other ideas?
