escape/quote the char's:
rm -f "./# Column";
or, if you use bash, the tab key is rather helpful for this.
simplest fix may be to:
cd $somedir/..;
mkdir _$somedir;
mv $somedir/[a-zA-Z0-9_]* _$somedir;
rm -rf $somedir;
mv _$someidr $somedir;
that is: make a scratch directory, fry the original one, and
then move the scratch directory in place. This also helps to
shrink an over-large directory that may have been populated
with large numbers of junk files.
