I once managed to create a file whose name was backspace (^H) - by typing a bunch of stuff in vi thinking I was insert mode not command mode. It only showed up in a multicolumn ls where in one row two of the columns were shifted left by one character.
It took me several months to figure out how to get rid of it. I tried the obvious thing of moving all other files out of the directory and then using ‘rm -rf’ on the directory which caused rm to crash :(.
Eventually I worked out how to hex edit the file associated with the directory inode to change the filename to ‘A’ (65) - and then it was easy to delete...
