My jupyter notebook command stopped working, and I believe it is because my .jupyter directory is behaving strangely. If I try to delete it, it neither errors or gets deleted. For example, this works, but should not.

rm -rf .jupyter
cd .jupyter

If I then run,

touch hello.txt

I get touch: hello.txt: Invalid argument Has anyone run into this and solved it?

I don't think it's a symlink:

No, it is a much larger problem. I can succesfully delete the dir with that command, but other dirs that used to exit cannot be ls'd anymore! – Sam Shleifer Jul 06 '20 at 15:11
