Problems removing files with semicolons in the filename

There are some 40 files created by accident with filenames with semicolons, as well as other non-printable characters. I can not find a correct way to delete them. This is what I tried:

Code:
bash-2.03# ls bad|head -1
000025;001;1377795616;
bash-2.03# rm "bad/000025;001;1377795616;???"
rm: bad/000025;001;1377795616;??? non-existent
bash-2.03# 
bash-2.03# rm 'bad/000025;001;1377795616;???' 
rm: bad/000025;001;1377795616;??? non-existent
bash-2.03# rm 'bad/000025;001;1377795616;*'  
rm: bad/000025;001;1377795616;* non-existent
bash-2.03# rm 'bad/000025\;001\;1377795616\;*'
rm: bad/000025\;001\;1377795616\;* non-existent
bash-2.03# rm "bad/000025\;001\;1377795616\;*" 
rm: bad/000025\;001\;1377795616\;* non-existent

I can not remove the whole directory as well

Code:
bash-2.03# rm -r bad
rm: 000025;001;1377795616; non-existent
rm: 000025;003;1377809391; non-existent
rm: 000025;012;1377803446;' non-existent
rm: 000025;014;1377789967; non-existent
...
... etc... same kind of non-existent msg per each file
...
rm: unable to remove directory bad: File exists (error 17)
bash-2.03#

What can I do?
