True, I had checked it using the shell t
why can't you use ls -i, find the inode, and do find . -inum INODENUM
-exec rm {} \;
is it a list of file that you want to remove put all the files in a
text file and do a for loop.
HTH!

Yes, that would have been *far* simpler/easier/quicker, and would have worked.
*That's* the clue-stick I was looking for.
Many Thanks

Output (I just reproduced the file) from your example is:
rm `ls | grep E` would delete that file leaving others alone.

I've been in similar situations countless times, but this one is
throwing me a for a loop.
I have a file that I'm trying to remove with non-printable characters
in the name. Additionally, some of the characters appear to be
backspace/delete/etc.
All my normal tricks with rm(1) fail.
