I was trying to append to a text file in bash in WSL (using the >> operator). Unfortunately since I'm a beginner instead of appending to a file, a new file was made with the >>'text' as the filename , And seems like both Windows (GUI) and Ubuntu (rm command) cannot delete the file while i's in the directory . (It's shown even while using the dir command).
Windows GUI:
Windows error code:
![]()
Bash:
