This is a new one for me. I converted a YouTube selection using
youtube_dl and the file that was created was named -elDeJaPWGg.flv. When
I try to rename it, or delete it, I get an error message thus:
root@ ~: rm -elDeJaPWGg.flv
rm: illegal option -- e
usage: rm [-f | -i] [-dIPRrvW] file ...
unlink file
No switch with either the rm or mv command works. What is actually going
on here?

The problem is that the filename contains a dash, which rm interprets as
an indication that the next character is a switch. Use unlink instead,
i.e. unlink -elDeJaPWGg.flv.
