What error does rm give you?  Have you tried `rm -i \-bash\.gmon` or `rm -i
xy\ ds`?  If your shell is tcsh you can just type part of the filename then
press TAB and if you are familiar with emacs (the editor) it has a dired
(directory editor) mode where you can arrow up and down and select files
with one key press in order to delete them.
