Quoting names with spaces works well. So does use of the \ character to
escape the space. Exact usage might vary depending on which shell
you're using.
The following examples should work well with bash:
rm "filename with spaces"
rm another\ file\ with\ spaces
When all else fails, wildcards can be your friends.
