Deleting damaged or incomplete file,application,etc.

Anyone finding this comment, ignore it.

I'm trying out your suggestion. I have a pesky file named "test" on my Desktop that is incomplete or damaged. I need help deleting it. I have located the file. I've opened Terminal. I tried to drag the file onto the Terminal icon in the Dock, but nothing happened. So now I've dragged it into the Terminal window, which I guess is what you meant. When I did that, I saw this:

$ /Users/me/Desktop/test

Then I typed in "remove.rtf" like you said, and had this:

$ /Users/me/Desktop/test remove.rtf

Then I hit enter, and had this:

$ /Users/me/Desktop/test remove.rtf

-bash: /Users/me/Desktop/test: Permission denied

$

The file is still there. What do I do now?

When you drag the damaged or incomplete file into terminal, it should open up a new window

It doesn't.

What type of file are you trying to delete?

I don't know. It's damaged or incomplete.

you might need to mess around with permission a bit

What do you mean? How do I do that?

You probably haven't followed the instructions properly.

I showed you each of the steps I took. Where did I go wrong? Come on, I have a pesky file and I need help deleting it!

you dont know what you're talking about. Let it rest

Linc, above, showed you that your 'instructions' dont work.

You dont understand exactly how much he knows about the topic you presume, wrongly, to know about.

Your OP wasnt a question, rather a "user tip"

A: this board is not for user tips, rather questions.

B: your 'tip' is wrong/ faulty / corrupt

C: As a new poster on this board you cannot post user tips.

refer to the TOU please

Peace 😊
