Try: $ rm '-2147483647.27858.msg' or $ rm \2147483647.27858.msg The shell is interpreting the "-" (hyphen) as a prefix to a switch -- so either putting it in quotes or escaping it with a backslash should resolve that issue. Now, as for how the message got there that way, I'll let the TMDA experts answer that!
