I use dired (part of Gnu Emacs) to remove files with funky names.
It's quick, painless, and will remove (or rename) files regardless of
name (in my experience).  I have used it to remove files with names on
the order of "lpr -q ..." among other things.  This may or may not be
helpful in your case.

Any opinions expressed above are my own.
