command line - How to delete folder with strange name? - Ask Ubuntu

this question has answer here:

• how use filenames start dash “-” command arguments? 2 answers

i don't know how i've done i've created somehow folder named "-p". i'm trying delete buntu thinking i'm passing -p paremeter.

what can do?

ubuntu server 15.

you can use -- tell rm (and many other commands including many shell built-ins) not interpret further input command parameters, -p can interpreted correctly argument instead of "unrecognised option"

rm -- -p 

(this safety measure when globbing. might have accidentally created file called -rf...)
