Try displaying bad characters in a filename with "-b" switch to "ls". The bad characters come out in octal.
For example a filename containg a ctrl/X character (octal 30) comes out like duff\030file .

ls -lab

Once you know the name of the file it is safer to rename the file, then decide what to do with it.
