Question

I have a folder which is:

/var/www/xxx/html/'.

It was created accidentally. I try to delete it but it comes up,

No such files or directory

I have tired

rm -f /var/www/xxx/html/'.

rm -f "/var/www/xxx/html/'."

rm -f /var/www/xxx/html/*'*.

It is because of the '.

I have been looking around for a few hours but no joy.

cd /var/www/xxx/html
rm -rf \'.
