[ale] How can I delete this file?

[Christopher Bergeron]

Hrm, neither solution seemed to work.  I'm truly stumped on this one.  I 
have no idea what created these files, I think I cat'ed a binary to the 
console or something.

Any other ideas?

Is there a way I can delete the inode(s) without damaging my filesystem?

Here's the ls -lb output:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Aug  1 16:32 
\276?\277@\300A\301B\302\235\270\216\270\235\234\234\216\270\235\234\234
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Aug  1 16:32 \276\270\235

Here's the ls output:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Aug  1 16:32 
???@?A?B?????????????
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Aug  1 16:32 ???



[root at DashPC ~]$ rm  \?\?\?\@\?A\?B\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?
rm: cannot remove `???@?A?B?????????????': No such file or directory
[root at DashPC ~]$ rm ./* -i
rm: cannot lstat `./*': No such file or directory
[root at DashPC ~]$ rm -i ./*
rm: cannot lstat `./*': No such file or directory
[root at DashPC ~]$ rm -i *  
rm: cannot lstat `*': No such file or directory
