How do I delete a directory with hyphen in the name please?

Question

Could someone help me delete a directory named -ltr I accidentally created this when trying to list items.

None of this works:

rm -R *-ltr*
rm -R "-ltr"
rm -R '-ltr'

Answer 1

try:

rm -r  -- -ltr

man rm:

To remove a file whose name starts with a '-', for example '-foo', use one of these commands:

$ rm -- -foo

OR

$ rm ./-foo
