Another method is the let 'rm' figure out the file name by using it interactivley. Try "rm -i *" It will prompt you with the file name and you can decline the files you don't want to delete. I discovered this while trying to delete a directory left by somone using my ftp server, they used several unprintable characters as a directory name (such as: FF, LF...). This worked great.
