Hi Yogesh,
I had to chuckle at this one, because when the command
/usr/local/bin/rm --help
fails, the result is a usage message that tells you how
to remove the file :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
$/usr/local/bin/rm --help
Usage: /usr/local/bin/rm [OPTION]... FILE...
Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).
-d, --directory unlink directory, even if non-empty (super-user only)
-f, --force ignore nonexistent files, never prompt
-i, --interactive prompt before any removal
-r, -R, --recursive remove the contents of directories recursively
-v, --verbose explain what is being done
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
To remove a file whose name starts with a `-', for example `-foo',
use one of these commands:
/usr/local/bin/rm -- -foo
/usr/local/bin/rm ./-foo <-------,
\

Your answer is right there ---------'
In case you still don't get it, that's ok. We were all new once.
Change into the directory that has the file and type this:
/usr/local/bin/rm ./--help
Regards,
Matthew
