I have one directory that is being created automatically in my home folder. I remove it and it comes back. Now suddenly another directory have been created and I can't figure out why!?
victor@guinness:~$ ls -l
total 64K
drwxrwxr-x 2 victor victor 4,0K jul 15 13:55 ??_$?

When trying to remove them in the terminal:
victor@guinness:~$ rm "'a^A^?"/
rm: cannot remove ‘'a\001\177/’: No such file or directory
victor@guinness:~$ rm "??_$?"
rm: cannot remove ‘??_1’: No such file or directory
Doing rm
and a <tab>
:
victor@guinness:~$ rm
^W^L_$^?/ .gnome/ Public/
'a^?/ .gnome2/ .remmina/
[...]
So it's some weird characters. Also, the directory "sv_SE.UTF-8" was created the same time as "??_$?". Maybe it's a connection?
This weird problem started after an fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04.
What can I do to find what's creating these folders?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I've found that it is Transmission that is creating them!
