title: How to delete a file/directory with '$' in the name using powershell or cmd
body: <p>I accidentally created a directory (programmatically) whose name starts with <code>$</code>. All efforts to delete it have failed, via powershell, cmd, explorer. It doesn't want to recognize the <code>$</code> as part of the name, and probably isn't interpreting it as it either. I've seen some info on removing files/dirs with leading/trailing dots or whitespace, but that doesn't seem to work in this case. Has anyone else seen this? I doubt i can delete the repo i'm working in because of this. Thanks.</p>
