  • This might work dependent on terminal and previous configuration. I have used stty erase '0x7f' in the past as a fix. Entering the key '^?' with Ctrl + V then Backspace could also work. Simply pressing backspace might not work as intended as it can output other characters to the command-line. Commented Mar 10, 2022 at 17:20
