Hi, I downloaded emelfm2 from here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=18462 it is a nice .deb, so just click and install. Good luck.

Just for future note to people.. to delete a file with a space in command line you need to use an escape character (\).. so

Code:
rm -f my\ file.mp3
Also.. if you press tab after typing part of a file name; if it's the only file in the directory that starts that way it will auto-complete the filename for you.. with the escape's where they are needed. So typing "my" and press tab.. will produce the above result.

My way of deleting files like these from a file system is:

rm -i `find ._*`

remove the -i if you don't want to confirm the deletion of each file, just remember there is no 'un'rm

The problem with this and some of the other methods is they are not "space" friendly. So if you have "._My Document" and "Document" it will match on the first and then rm -i ._My Document where ._My is non-existent and Document will happily delete your other file.

Try this

Code:
~/trial $ ls -a
.        ..        ._my doc  ._mydoc  mydoc
Code:
~/trial $ for f in ._*
> do
> rm "$f"
> done
Code:
~/trial $ ls -a
.      ..    mydoc

or on one line
Code:
for file in ._*; do rm "$file";done

You can also quote the file name: "my file.mp3".

That would be a good idea yep! :)
Not only for find, for a lot of other things probably..
