Whenever I try to delete it both through ftp and terminal, I get the error No such file or directory However, when I ls in the dir, the file is listed and it is also listed in my ftp client. I have tried creating a file with the same name and I end up getting two files with the same name. I can open the file http://askubuntu.com/questions/623577/no-such-file-or-directory-when-trying-to-remove-a-file-but-the-file-exists that supposedly does not exist, but I still can't remove it. I have also tried rebooting my server. Any ideas what may be the issue? I am running a 64 bit version of Ubuntu, but I don't think its a 32/64 bit issue. I should also note I have removed many other png files uploaded by the same PHP script.

The problem is no such file that the said files are visible with every file manager and with ls, and I can even open it with their respective applications (i.e. I can open and read text files with Kate, images with Gwenview, and so on); so I can't understand why when I try to delete them, they are marked as non-existent. If it is helpful, these are backup files, they are on a removable NTFS hard-disk and they are all inside the folder of a failed backup task; they were created by Back in Time: this program works by comparing subsequent backups and hardlinking when files are not changed in order to save space; I suppose this has something to do with the current problem. How can I delete these files? I tried to use rm -f without any success (even with sudo). They are still there and they are still non-existent; even under Windows, I was unable to delete them; what else can I try to do? P.S. I've already asked advice to Schrodinger's Cat, with no success. Here is a sample of the names of these files: rcb-ScrollBarH_bar_focus.png rcb-separator_vertical.png ScrollBarNib.png thumbborder-thin-black.png
