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.
