[ALUG] Removing unwanted files

[Barry Chater]

Hi
I have got a problem that i cannot seem to solve. i copied a folder to
the root directory using the terminal in gnome. I then could not get the
file to extract using the gzip_d pavcl_linux.tgz command only to get the
file or directory not found.
so i got fed up and decided to remove the file pavcl_linux.tgz using the
rm pavcl_linux.tgz command only to get the same reply.tried all these
with sudo in front, no success. also typed the i command to get to root
access but still no success.
then i thought i would use the file browser to delete the file but it
tells me that i do not have permission to move or copy the file. this is
really spoilling my enjoyment with linux as i cannot seem to be able to
copy or remove files with the terminal even though i copy the text
exactly from the documentation, and ubuntu book.
what am i doing wrong.
here is some of what i am doing
barry2006 at barry2006-laptop:~$ sudo rm pavcl_linux.tgz
Password:
rm: cannot remove `pavcl_linux.tgz': No such file or directory
barry2006 at barry2006-laptop:~$ 

and this is the file i am trying to remove

barry/pavcl_linux.tgz
