This is the one solution I'd recommend against, since it would remove
hardlinks that you might care about.
Also, this thread is
You could list by inode, then use find with rm.
# ls -i
7223 -O
# find . -inum 7223 -exec rm {} \;

I've tried as many styles of escaping as I could come up with but all
are rejected like this:
rm \-c
rm: illegal opt
