Hi,
In the end I managed to delete the folders with spaces using fuse mount and the normal rm -rf command.
Andreas, the eos rm command did not work for me as I tried to say in my previous email.

Cheers,
Alex

you can do this f.e. like this:

bash-3.2$ eos --role 27107 1307 ls -la "/eos/atlas/atlascerngroupdisk/tdaq-opmon/pbeast-data/ATLAS/DFM/timeout events/"

This does not work with 'xrd' .... 

Best is to do a find like:
eos find  "/eos/atlas/atlascerngroupdisk/tdaq-opmon/"

and then you either delete the files with spaces

eos rm "/eos/............/a b c "

or copy them to same valid name.

You can access the files with xrdcp and quoted URL but you cannot use the xrd command only the eos shell to delete or list them.

Cheers Andreas.

Hello,
We have accidentally created about 39 directories which contain empty spaces in EOS.
We successfully used xrdcp to copy the files from these directories into properly encoded directory names.
There is however a problem deleting files from directories with spaces.

When I try:
xrd asicoe@eosatlas rm "root://eosatlas//eos/atlas/atlascerngroupdisk/tdaq-opmon/pbeast-data/ATLAS/DFM/Averaging time for rates/1357171200.604799.zip"

I get:
Error 3011: Unable to remove /root:/eosatlas/eos/atlas/atlascerngroupdisk/tdaq-opmon/pbeast-data/ATLAS/DFM/Averaging; No such file or directory
The command returned an error.

I see there is the same problem with listing directories with spaces (https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?99283)

How can I delete the files in directories with spaces and then the directories themselves?

Thanks for the help,
Alex

P.S.

(1) I tried the eos commad and it doesn't work either (no surprise).
(2) What's a bit confusing is that while typing a path with an illegal argument once, I received an error report stating that SPACE is among the allowed characters:

        Error 3005: Unable to accept path name - illegal characters - use only A-Z a-z 0-9 / SPACE .-_~#:^

(3) I am using Xrootd version: v3.2.2
