You probably have escape characters in the filename. Go to the directory where the file is, then do a rm -i *. This will INTERACTIVELY PROMPT for removing each file in that directory. Only answer "y" to the -1 fil1 and "n" to all others. Once you have answered "y" to the -1 file, you can break out with ctrl-c.
