Today i noticed that in my home folder there is an unknown directory with the name HZ5JZhA.V7

I have not created this directory but when i tried to go in to its properties, it says it was created today and when i tried to view the size of this file no result came just says calculating.

I tried to delete it by Shift + Delete nothing happened and then I tried rm command also nothing results.

Please instruct me how to get rid of this annoying file...

thanks in advance

    Tell us what you installed recently. I am guessing bleachbit? See if this is similar: http://askubuntu.com/questions/427647/strange-folder-in-my-home-folder-after-a-failed-run-of-bleachbit There are more programs that do this though. – Rinzwind Dec 12 '14 at 09:45
  • Well i did not install anything but I used bleachbit with deepscan and system option tick marked along with others. After sometime when it took too long a time to finish, I aborted it (yeah, in the middle of the bleachbit operation). thanks – bluesquare Dec 12 '14 at 10:47
  • At first I opened Bleahbit with root privileges but i didn't run it and then i opened it with non root privilege and aborted it half way. – bluesquare Dec 12 '14 at 10:59
  • Then that is your answer: it is bleachbit. – Rinzwind Dec 12 '14 at 14:35
  • Yes, bleachbit...And thank you very much for helping me where to look for reference. – bluesquare Dec 16 '14 at 17:44

After running the rm -rf command for nearly one hour the file is gone now.
