Bram, To remove it, you'll need to know exactly what its name is. I guess there are some non-ASCII characters in its name. Try /bin/ls | cat -vet and see what's there. Then catch the output of /bin/ls in foo_file, edit foo_file so that it contains an entry/entries for what you don't want in that directory, surrounded by quotation marks ("), one per line. Next rm $(cat foo_file). Hope this helps.
