I am trying to clean up an SD card.  "ls-ahl" gives me this:

-rw-r--r--. 1 kilpatms users 224K Sep 13 15:04 !µ"µ#µ$µ.%µ&

I would like to delete the file beginning with ! and the one beginning
with  ?.


But when I try "rm !*.*" I get this:
   rm -ahl.*
   rm: invalid option -- 'a'
   Try 'rm --help' for more information.

which leads me to try rm ./!*, which doesn't work;
neither does rm -- !*



And when I try "rm ?*.*"  I get this:
   rm: cannot remove ‘FOUND.000’: Is a directory

Clues would be appreciated.

Sean
