I am trying to delete the file using adb command. But the file contain spaces. So adb command throws an error after reading half of the file name till space. Is there a way to overcome this issue. I am executing following adb command
When I execute
adb shell rm /sdcard/samsung_Nexus S_converter.xml
Error message: rm failed for /sdcard/samsung_Nexus, No such file or directory
How ever when I execute:
adb shell rm /sdcard/samsung_Nexus_S_converter.xml
File deletion is successful
I searched for solution for this, if there is any workaround. How ever I couldnt find any.
Since you are using command line, you need to know that spaces must be escaped by using (backslash before the special character like "space"), so, in your case this should work too:
adb shell rm /sdcard/samsung_Nexus\ S_converter.xml
Hope it helps!
Regards!
By me it wasn't enough to escape spaces with backslashes:
$ adb shell ls /storage/sdcard1/audio/Die\ Toten\ Hosen/
/storage/sdcard1/audio/Die: No such file or directory
Toten: No such file or directory
Hosen/: No such file or directory
For some reason I also had to surround the path with '':
$ adb shell ls '/storage/sdcard1/audio/Die\ Toten\ Hosen/'
03 - Boxed Set
04 - Compilations
05 - Live Albums
While surrounding without escaping didn't work:
$ adb shell ls '/storage/sdcard1/audio/Die Toten Hosen'
/storage/sdcard1/audio/Die: No such file or directory
Toten: No such file or directory
Hosen: No such file or directory
Did you tried escaping the space
adb shell rm /sdcard/samsung_Nexus\ S_converter.xml
