I tried it. It just says no such file or directory. I need someway to convince it not to see the ? as a globbing symbol. I've tried \? in front to make it literal, but that makes it attempt to erase things in the root directory. Here are a few of my attempts... rm -i `whole name of file here` rm -i \?* # I figured this would match the ? and then the rest Any more suggestions?
