You could list by inode, then use find with rm.
# ls -i
7223 -O
# find . -inum 7223 -exec rm {} \;

I've tried as many styles of escaping as I could come up with but all
are rejected like this:
rm \-c
rm: illegal option -- c
usage: rm [-fiRr] file ...
Ditto for:
[\-]c
'-c'
*c
'-'c
\075c
OK, I'm out of escapes. or other tricks... other than using emacs but
I haven't installed emacs as yet.
I can just ignore them of course, until such time as I do get emacs
installed, but by now I just want to know how it might be done from a
shell prompt.

This is the one solution I'd recommend against, since it would remove
hardlinks that you might care about.
Also, this thread is getting long, repetitive, tiring. Please stop.
This is a standard issue Unix beginner question, just like my test
program does nothing.
