I can't remove it for the life of me. Ouch! That's a messy one! Looks like a corrupt file name with embedded linefeeds and such. The trick I use to remove unremovable files is to specify a pattern that matches only the bad one. I would first try: rm *7* ... or something like that. Alternatively, tar up all the good files to /tmp or something, rm -r the directory, and reload the tar. That's what I would do anyway.
