Some one has created a file called -rm* in my account dir. How can I
remove this file safely?

Thanks,
-Brad

:

$ rm ./-rm\*

should do the trick.

I think " rm \-rm\* " will do it.

   Run the file manager "/usr/openwin/bin/filemgr".

- rename it and then remove it by command "rm".

        or

- highlight this file, click right mouse button, select delete.

                                                Hope this helpful!

Just do a:

rm -- "-rm*"

 
 
 

1. how to erase a file with bad name ?

 After a mistake, I have a file whose name is a non-ascii character
 (like a ^? or something like that). So, how can I delete it since I can't
 reproduce its name from the keyboard ?

  Thanks.
