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.

when i put ls -lab, the file name is itmm_smain_hc.exe\015
so, is it i just need to rm itmm_smain_hc.exe\015 to remove the file?
but when i try to do that, it still display: No such file or directory

lessecho
LESSECHO(1) General Commands Manual LESSECHO(1) NAME
lessecho - expand metacharacters, such as * and ?, in filenames on Unix systems. SYNOPSIS
lessecho [-ox] [-cx] [-pn] [-dn] [-a] file ... DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the lessecho command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. lessecho is a program that simply echos its filename arguments on standard output. But any argument containing spaces is enclosed in quotes. OPTIONS
A summary of options are included below. -ox Specifies "x" to be the open quote character. -cx Specifies "x" to be the close quote character. -pn Specifies "n" to be the open quote character, as an integer. -dn Specifies "n" to be the close quote character, as an integer. -a Specifies that all arguments are to be quoted. The default is that only arguments containing spaces are quoted. SEE ALSO
