How can I remove this file?

I've tried a few different methods, but most attempts interprets the file name as a switch (which it doesn't understand).
Method 1: try rm --backup=numbered Method 2, that will *ALWAYS* work: ls -i then, using the inode number find . -inum <inode> -exec rm {} ;
The latter method is the one guaranteed to take care of all kinds of filenames with weird, or unprintable, stuff in the name.
