    You should wrap rm -r 'folder'\$'003' in backticks, because in my Lemmy client the backwards slash wasn’t showing.

        You put an extra backslash in there, it should be rm -r "folder'\$'003"

          Did you try with bash autocomplete?

          rm -r folder<tab>

          And see how it spells it? Also you could wildcard depending on what you (don’t) want to delete in the process.
