Use the "\" character.
"rm myfile\*"
See :
apptest > cat >myfile*
here is the data in the file !
apptest > ls -l my*
-rw-r--r-- 1 apptest system 31 Dec 13 12:08 myfile*
apptest > cat > myfile1
this is a good file
apptest > ls -l my*
-rw-r--r-- 1 apptest system 31 Dec 13 12:08 myfile*
-rw-r--r-- 1 apptest system 20 Dec 13 12:08 myfile1
apptest > rm myfile\*
apptest > ls -l my*
-rw-r--r-- 1 apptest system 20 Dec 13 12:08 myfile1
apptest >
