\_ Hey all..
\_ 
\_ $ ls
\_ \033:\033\033::q   Space/               lcm.c                 resume.html
\_ Personal/          home.tar.gz          readme.txt
\_ 
\_ How do I remove the file  \033:\033\033::q  

rm -i *

i for interactive...let it figure out what to call the file, you just
say 'y' at the appropriate point.

or

'rm -i *:q' to give it a hint at the file(s) to pick

or

'rm -i ?:??::q' to avoid typing the annoying characters

or go into dired mode in emacs.
