Hi,

this is a completely stupid thing I did. I wanted to make a zipped tar
archive of my complete user home account and write it to MOD. 

Unfortunately I used the following line:

tar -cvvf -gzip /mod/name-of-archive folder-name

Now my home-partition is 100 % full and I don´t know how to delete that
-gzip file! :-(
Gee, why doesn´t tar realize that things starting with "-" are no file
names.

I tried
rm "-gzip" 
rm ´-gzip´
rm \-gzip

None of these worked.

What is the trick? (There must be one ...)


Regards,

Kerstin
