Thanks a lot for your help. Actually when I press backspace, it behaves like the cursor left and when I press escape the characters left behind are deleted. CTRL-h cannot delete either, neither :fixdel can fix the backspace. But When I create a .vimrc file with null content in my home directory, the backspace works, strange!
