You have created files whose names have characters that have a special meaning for the shell: (, ), and whitespace. In this case you have to make an escape sequence to reference them. This is made using "\" before the special character. Try this: rm \(.\)_Final\ Pro\ 3\(System\ ID\ file\).dmg now, if this file is the only one ending in ".dmg" you can try: rm *.dmg
