Ouch! That may well have deleted any other files with a name ending in f,
while leaving the file -f still there!
[tony@softins tmp]$ touch ./-f ae af ag be bf bg
[tony@softins tmp]$ ls
-f ae af ag be bf bg
[tony@softins tmp]$ echo *f
-f af bf
[tony@softins tmp]$ rm *f
[tony@softins tmp]$ ls
-f ae ag be bg
Easiest way to remove the file -f is: rm ./-f
Cheers
