I am trying to get rid of this folder, but the result is saying that fish expects a variable name after this $. What does it mean ? And how do i get rid of this folder ? (thelemmy.club)

It's loveespresso@retrofed.com and it's fucking annoying, especially when we wasted our time to tell him and he never replied.

I'm annoyed because he thanked me for my working answer and... Here we are...?

Yeah, I know. I usually try to give new accounts the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they don't know where and how to ask things in a way that actually helps them...

But making a second account, and posting the same question in the same incorrect community again... that's just too much for me.

I need to go over the lesson again. I need to study this post and the one I had made yesterday. No more questions tomorrow. Whatever glitches l come across, l shall ask as comments.

Can't really figure out, so many people have given me so many suggestions, which l tried out, but this particular folder refuses to budge due to some mysterious reason.

It still doesn't explain why you are switching between 5 (yes, five) accounts, and not answering our questions. For the reference:

Same AI picture, same questions about that specific folder that you could have nuked a long time ago.

How did you track all of my accounts ? Do l know you as some other account user ??

I browse by /New and I see the same question over and over. Why? I mean... what's the point? I'm pretty sure you're not a chatbot, but what you are doing is very inefficient. When I started learning Linux, fucking things up was mandatory to learn, and deleting a directory would have been done in a few hours without previous knowledge.

You have been working on this stupid folder for days. A name that will never exist in a real situation. My advice: uninstall WSL, reinstall WSL, and move on.

Are you serious about that ? Me uninstalling wsl and then reinstalling it ??

[-] one_old_coder@piefed.social 3 points 6 hours ago

Yes. It's a 15 minutes job. I did the equivalent a hundred times when I was learning, and I had no web site or community to help me.

RTFM, lurk more, etc.

Next time, please try a community that fits your question like !linux4noobs@programming.dev or !linuxquestions@lemmy.zip

I can see how Explain Like I'm Five might seem right but it's usually meant for broader questions like "ELI5: why is the sky blue?" or "ELI5: can you explain that thing that is currently going on in the world?", not your homework.
