First, Emacs froze when I tried to list my home directory, then "ls

there is a file, directory, or special file in my home directory that
begins with ".gvfs". Any attempts to list the contents of the
directory that should include .gvfs* fails and locks up the program
that issued the command; emacs, ls -a in bash shell, etc. The close
icon in the upper right hand corner of the frame will cause a
pop-dialog to appear that allows the program to be "force quit".
Any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Can I safely do a "rm -rf
.gvfs*" or will that delete files that my system needs?
The command "ls -ad .gvfs*" also locks up which leads me to suspect
that .gvfs is a special file, such as a device, instead of a directory.
