How to remove a directory with a name containing space and other special characters in DFC?

A directory "/juno/esd/reprod/J25.4.2/Reprod_test # ReProd_J25.4.2_v1 # runXXXtoXXX" was wrongly created by a user. It contains space and "#". How to delete it?

Hi,

If the directory is empty, please try this script from a DIRAC UI with suitable credentials (I'm not aware of any existing command line tool that can delete a directory containing a space):

#!/usr/bin/env python
from DIRAC import initialize
initialize()
from DIRAC.Resources.Catalog.FileCatalog import FileCatalog
fc = FileCatalog()
print(fc.removeDirectory("/juno/esd/reprod/J25.4.2/Reprod_test # ReProd_J25.4.2_v1 # runXXXtoXXX"))

Regards,
Simon
