How to remove directory name with special characters and directories with variable name env on UNIX

I did a search in this repository and I didn’t find any similar questions or maybe my search was wrong.

I have this problem in my client environment, the user application creates directories with the environment variable "$ SRCDIR" and "$ HOME", and the directory where they are created is itself the dir HOME path. if I say rm -rf $HOME, then all files and subdir in $ HOME, which is the current directory, will be deleted. How to remove these unwanted directories.

-rw-r--r--  1 grp domain users 418051450 Apr 18 18:09 $SRCDIR
-rw-r--r--  1 grp domain users 418051450 Apr 18 18:09 $HOME

Also, some directories are unnecessary characters, as shown below.

-rwxr-xr-x  1 grp domain users  0 Feb  7  2106 ??????w?O???*????_6??t??Ó¡?>?tP??Ñ?|?C

You can try rm -rf '$ HOME' '$ SRCDIR', since single quotes will prevent shell variables from expanding. tried using bash and ksh.

Just avoid the dollar sign. Try it like this -

rm -rf \$HOME

Same thing with the symbol ?.

You can use the c program to avoid shell / escape problems. Look at the answers to this question .
