Assuming this is on a non-operational system.
cp -p foo.bar ./-rubbish
To remove file.
rm -i ./-rubbish
You would be advised to not leave files like this on a live server. They upset basic unix commands and backup software.

DESCRIPTION
xen-delete-image is a simple script which allows you to delete
Xen instances which have previously been created by xen-create-image.
You must be root to run this script as it removes the Xen configuration
file from /etc/xen and potentially removes LVM and EVMS volumes.
(When invoked with the '--test' flag the script will continue running,
but will fail to remove anything which the user does not have permission
to delete.)
LOOPBACK EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have three images 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz', stored
beneath /home/xen the first two may be deleted via:
xen-delete-image --dir=/home/xen foo bar
You may also delete them by running:
xen-delete-image --dir=/home/xen --hostname=foo --hostname=bar
(The matching Xen configuration files beneath /etc/xen will also be
removed.)
LVM EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have the volume group 'skx-vol' containing three
Xen instances 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz' the first two may be deleted via:
xen-delete-image --lvm=skx-vol foo bar
This will remove the volumes 'foo-disk', 'foo-swap', 'bar-disk',
and 'bar-swap'.
Note that if the images were created with "--noswap" then the swap
volumes will not be present, so will not need to be deleted.
The Xen configuration files will also be removed from beneath /etc/xen.
EVMS EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have the container 'mycontainer' containing three
Xen instances 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz' the first two may be deleted via:
xen-delete-image --evms=lvm2/mycontainer --hostname=foo --hostname=bar
This will remove the volumes 'foo-disk', 'foo-swap', 'bar-disk',
and 'bar-swap'.
Note that if the images were created with "--noswap" then the swap
volumes will not be present, so will not need to be deleted.
The Xen configuration files will also be removed.
