I was creating a new folder through the web interface and accidentally hit \ with the enter key.  It allowed me to create a folder called "Stream\".  But now Windows sees the new folder, but won't let me delete or rename it.  Also the web interface will not let me view that folder or event its root folder.

Any ideas on how to delete this new illegally named folder?

jimmy> we do have a known issue we are tracking regarding invalid characters. it's actually a more fundamental problem arising from our support for many filesystems which may have nuances incompatible with the computer with which you are accessing the pogoplug.

you can always telnet to the pogoplug and rename the file from the command-line shell.

I guess, for some reason, I just assumed that would not work either.  But it did! Thanks.
