I am trying to create a directory .ebextensions
. Ubuntu 12.04 is telling me that there is already a file with that name; however, I have searched for it, and nothing comes up. I really need to create that directory ASAP. What should I do?

To see dot or hidden files, use
ls -Al
To see just this file, use
ls -Al .ebextensions
To remove it, use
rm -rf .ebextensions
Just take care with those "-rf" options, because they can delete everything without asking if you type them wrong.
Also, on your file browser, configure it to show hidden files and you can delete it graphically.

@bohdi.zazen, OK. I put the 2nd command into terminal... And it says
ls: cannot access .ebextension: No such file or directory
. What now?– tjonsNov 13, 2013 at 22:24 -
I just tried that. It came back with the following: mkdir: cannot create directory `.ebextensions': File exists– tjonsNov 13, 2013 at 22:29

To view files and directories starting with a .
in nautilus, press Ctrl + Alt + T.
To delete a file in the terminal, use the rm
command: rm .ebextensions
ls -a
?
