See if find sees the file, e.g., find -name 11419\* and if it does, then something like find -name 11419\* -exec rm {} \; or find -name 11419\* -exec mv {} somename \; if you'd like to have a look at it. There might be a problem with special characters in the name getting fouled up when the shell interprets it. If so, it might be possible to use rm if you escape those characters.
