The quotes and escapes are mangled.

cd into the directory with the folder to remove, type rm -rf ./ then press tab until the folder you’re looking for is autocompleted after the ./

Doesn't seem to work.

If you’re struggling, might as well either open a file manager like midnight commander to make your life easier.
