`rm ./-R' will work. In addition, most of the GNU utils accept the special parameter `--' to mean ``everything else on this command line is a filename, not an option.'' If you're stuck without GNU tools, though, you can always fall back on a wildcard: `rm ?R'---I'd probably also want to use the `-i' switch to make sure I didn't delete something else by mistake.
