rm doesn't run out of space.
sometime rm needs some tweeks, when deleting files with zero in the name occur, usually using some * or ? solves the problem (I have some such files in my archives that come from time to time, mostly utf8 from/to iso failed conversions)
In OFMs I've ever used, delete always means delete, and they have no problem with whitespace or most (all?) special characters when deleting. This thread's OP is precisely why I rarely use GUI file management tools - when I delete something I want the space it took recovered right when I choose to delete, not as a result of some obtuse future activity that may depend on what DE I am or was in when a "delete" is or was selected. Whether GUI is running and in use or not, my file management chores get done in an OFM, which on Linux means either Midnight Commander or File Commander/L. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
