I tried to run a file on Ubuntu server (it didn't work) and it left this strange file behind. When I type ls this is what comes up:
When I type sudo rm then hit tab, this comes up:
I've tried copying and pasting the strange symbols into the rm command, and trying to hit tab to get the file to appear after the rm, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know how I can delete this file?
