Deleting a File by it's Inode Value.

       To list the inode and display the characters.

       $ ls -libt *

     To remove by inode. Note the "--" option.  This
     will keep any special characters in the file from being
     interpreted at "rm" options.

       $ find . -inum <inode> -exec rm -- '{}' \;

     Or to check contents

       $ find . -inum <inode> -exec cat '{}' \;
