Hi,

You can delete this kind of file with inode number;

>>Find out the inode number of this file with,
#ls -il "file name"

>>Remove the file with,
#find . -inum "inode#" -exec rm -i {} \;

Simple quoting works:
rm -i "'30-apr-2008'\""

Hi,

For deleting this type of special filename you need to do this step

#rm -i *

now one by one it will ask you for delet.
y for yes and n for no

when it will ask for your file press y
