Usually a method for a "more special" case is also suitable for a "less special" one, but unnecessarily complicated to carry out. We will start with the easiest and least special specialities and go on from there until reaching the peak of specialdom, so to say In most cases ways to remove the files in question will be given, but you can adapt the method quickly usually by simply exchanging "rm" for another command to manage the file in a different way.

If you have a colon in the file name, and you use that partition on Windows and delete the file, it will result in file system corruption. It can be resolved with Windows' "repair disk" tool though.
