I need help on my kali linux. I tried to delete these files
1186047 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19717377 Sep 5 17:54 -01.cap
1186032 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 576 Sep 5 17:54 -01.csv
1186040 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 598 Sep 5 17:54 -01.kismet.csv
1186044 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3863 Sep 5 17:54 -01.kismet.netxml
from my desktop using the rm command but it refused. I also tried to change the permission using chmod and other command but refused.
It looks as those files begin with - which means rm or other commands are likely to treat them as flags/arguments unless you tell them not to. The way to do that is, for most commands at least, to ad -- after the options you want, then all the rest of the arguments will not be treated as special. For example
rm -01.cap
is likely interpreted as passing -0 as an argument to rm, which is not a valid option. You have a couple of options, you could either include the path so the first character is not - as in
rm ./-01.cap
or use -- to signify the end of flags and options like
rm -- -01.cap
