thanks for the promp reply.

I eventually managed to delete the file using rm -i * command.

This one worked for me but there are others ways as well.
I also tried GUI file manager as well as using escape character for ?.

thanks for the friends who replied quickly Glenn Harrison ,Tahrir Fathoni

Hi Dharmendra,

I don't know where this file came from, but to delete it you can try:

rm \?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?

or alternatively:

rm -i *

and press y at the appropriate file.

Cheers,
Glenn
