The use the ls -b option to display the non-printable characters in octal notation. You can then do something like rmdir -i b* to interactively prompt you to remove this directory.

Man ls and rmdir for details.

ll|cat -v

Will show if it has any special char.

rm -ir bde*

ll -il

find . -inum "inodeno" -exec rm -ir {}\;
