$ indicates that the string following is an env variable, but you just have a closing quote, so bash is confused.
If you want the literal character $ in your command, you must escape it: \$
Edit: afaik my answer does not change based on the fact that this is fish instead of bash or zsh. The $ is outside of the single quotes, and is thus being interpreted as an env var anchor.
Of course. It could work totally different from bash.
To be fair I saw some cool fish stuff and thought about using it but when maintaining a few thousand servers with bash its not viable to load an alternative shell to all of them.

The actual folder is ‘folder’$‘\003’ .
In that case, I think you want
Note the double escape before
003, which will render to the character literal\Alternatively, start typing
And then hit tab until
fishautocompletes the directory you want to kill, and run it.Side note: i would absolutely not tolerate directories named like that lol
Thanks for the tip.
Is this some school task…? Why is there a folder with such a name 😅
Apparently yes. I’m learning things on my own.
