How to delete the following file

[Calvin Webster]

I was able to recreate your file name and remove it as follows:

(one single line each)

Create:

touch '\-l `cap_to_path 0x34c23d0b 0x00008e9f 0x30298894 0xd1e6f358
0x030d8181 0x700400f9 0x0d818119 0x0006ff03`'

Delete:
rm '\-l `cap_to_path 0x34c23d0b 0x00008e9f 0x30298894 0xd1e6f358
0x030d8181 0x700400f9 0x0d818119 0x0006ff03`'
