rm and a filename which has octal \345 in the name.

Can anyone help me with this?

I don't know how this file was created, but I cannot remove it.

When I do an 'ls' in the directory which contains the file, I get:

"ls: AccessKeyMouseEv nts: No such file or directory"

When I try 'rm -rf *' inside the directory I get nothing.

When I try 'rm -rf ./Access*" I get nothing.

When I try 'rm ./Acess*" I get:

rm: cannot remove `./AccessKeyMouseEv\345nts' : No such file or directory



I cannot stat the file, it says it doesn't exist.  I cannot rm -rf the
directory it's in because it says the directory isn't empty.  Unlink
doesn't work either.

Anyone have any ideas?
