what do you mean in a webhost? Is it online? Did you do it via FTP? you should have no problem deleting it but if for some reason you can%26#039;t, just re save it off of your PC with the correct name and upload that. Leave the wrong file there. You don%26#039;t have to use it.

It%26#039;s likely that the host run a linux server. Try to connect to your host using SSH protocol using the program puTTy. Then delete the file by typing:



rm %26quot;the_filename_with_slash%26quot;



To connect, you must know the host address of your webhost, your username, and your password. When you register to that webhost, you should get them. If you can%26#039;t remember, contact the support staff of that webhost.



Other Replys:Don%26#039;t do anything... Now please contact your webhost, they will help u. I knw how difficult is when people like u do something with folders and its become difficult.....
