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.
