Tried that and other combinations too. mc which is my file manager of
choice would not delete it so I tried the Gnome default graphical file
manager. The folder shows up but as soon as you click on it, right or
left button, it disappears and then reappears when you refresh the
window.

Cannot even delete the containing directory. This is on a smb shared
folder on an xfs server. All files are backed up so I think I'll just
delete the share and reinstall it.
