Hi all,

I have files with loads of languages on my pc.

Currently in the trash I have a deleted folder/file:
.Trash/mp3/ΣΤÎ? Î?Î?Î?ΡΤÎ? ΤÎ?Σ ΦÎ?Î?ΤÎ?ΣÎ?Î?Σ [ 01 ΡÎ?Î?Î?Σ
feat.Î?Î?Î?Î¥Î?Î?ΡÎ?Î? Î?ΡÎ?Î?Î?Î?ΤÎ?Î?Î?] ΦÎ?Î?Î?Î?Î?Î? (Î?Î?Î?
Î?Î?Î?Î?Î? Î?Î?Î?ΣÎ?Î?Σ ΣÎ?Î¥ Î?ΥΤÎ?Σ).mp3

(this is a bunch of greek chars, no idea why this particular one causes
problems. Other files display normally)

However deleting from the recycle bin (right click delete on the mp3 folder)
produces the following error:
Error "File not found" while deleting "/media/sdb1...¤ÎŸÎ£).mp3".

Clicking into the folder nautilus can see the file, but as soon as I click
on the file it disappears from the list (I am guessig a nautilus bug?)

Command line running rm against either the file or the parent folder
produces the following:
rm: cannot remove `ΣΤÎ\302\227 Î\302\223Î\302\231Î\302\237ΡΤÎ\302\227

I have had this error before, however at the time someone gave me an awk
script that I hacked a little and this worked. I don't have the script
anymore. Any ideas?

Thanks
