The program below can be edited so that the portion between double quotes matches the name of the file you wish to remove. Compile, run, and the rogue file is gone forever. main() { char *buffer = "d\346ggh\352k\343vbn\40m"; unlink(buffer); } I use ls | od -c to find the name I want to put between double quotes above. I suppose you could use ls -b as well.
