To delete the file or folder:
Use "ls -li" to get the inode number (first column)
then
find . -type d -inum 125842 -exec rm -r '{}' \;
to delete the folder or file

An "ls -lb" command is the answer..
Thanks everyone for the quick answer.

When I list the content of /etc something weird happens :
# ls -l /etc
total 517

Now look at the last line of the ls command output, there is a directory
with an invisible name and a wierd date ?
How can I "cd" into it ?
How can I "ls" its content ?
How can I "rm" it ?
