Can't delete some fake files
I've got a folder full of about 80 files with this filename
.OUunh!␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀␀.AcVG6n
where the difference among them is the extension.
They all have zero bytes so it's just an empty filename. My backup software (Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper!) both have trouble dealing with these files and often won't complete their scheduled backups.
I've tried various ways of deleting them, force-emptying the Trash, even the CLI "rm" doesn't work. I can't change their names, I can't remove the "." denoting invisibility, in short, aside from moving them from here to there, they can't be renamed or deleted.
I would really appreciate any advice on this. Terminal commands are not new to me. See attached screen grab for a detailed look at some of these puppies.
Thanks!
