Providing you can login as root, just type sudo rm -rf ~/.Private at the console. Have you tried looking into its contents? It's important to make sure it's not holding anything you might want to keep.

  • Can you show the exact command and error message here? Also, are you logged into the username "user" account in that computer? – SevenSonicStructures Nov 29 '15 at 11:31
  • its not my pc its dedicated server
    -bash: cd: /home/user/.Private: No such file or directory -bash: cd: /home/user/Private: No such file or directory     – Mahmoud Saad Nov 29 '15 at 11:35
  • i tried to delete it with ur sudo rm -rf ~/.Private give this sudo: unable to resolve host aflamy – Mahmoud Saad Nov 29 '15 at 11:41
  • The second one wasn't going to work since the directory name is ".Private". In the last case, that issue seems to be related to http://askubuntu.com/questions/59458/error-message-when-i-run-sudo-unable-to-resolve-host-none, check the /etc/hostname file and see if it matches with the proper configuration first, then check back and try to delete the folder again. – SevenSonicStructures Nov 29 '15 at 11:47
