There are many approaches. The one I favor is to do an ls with inode
numbers then do a find on that inode.
ls -il
The first column will list the inode. Next do a find on that inode:
find . -inum 123456 -maxdepth 1 -exec ls -l {} \;
If the file matches, just pass rm to find:
find . -inum 123456 -maxdepth 1 -exec rm {} \;
