How to remove devices created with makedev?
« on: 29 May 2005, 16:03 »
Hi folks,
While trying to find out the version of makedev, I excecuted the following commands:
makeved -V, and
makedev -v
This created two device directories in my home directory:
-V and -v.
How do I remove/delete these two device directories?
Thanks

rm -- -V
Contains scenes of mild peril.

Is that it? Aren't there any interdepancies created that might get messed up just using "rm"?
Thanks
