Oops, typed one glob wrong.  Change ‘.*k’ to ‘.*k*’ below.

 

And of course, those globs MIGHT match more than you wanted, so be careful with your ‘rm’ command J

Mr kitepilot didn’t finish the story, which is: “By convention, files name ‘.something’ are not shown in an ‘ls’ listing, nor do they match file globbing on the command line unless you explicitly include the leading period.”  (And I may have forgotten other places that leading periods have an effect, but I think that’s it)

 

Thus you would have matched .*lock* and .*k and .*lo* and even .~* (assuming I am reading your filename right.)
