Question Deleting a File with an Erroneous Period

Hi - I am new to the Unix environment and have encountered a problem I can't resolve. I inadvertently created a data file with a
period/dot at the end of the word 'dat', I.e. filename.dat. and can't remove it using the 'rm' command. In attempting to do so, I receive a message reading that the file is not found. This file is HUGE so I'd like to be able to remove it. Does anyone have any idea how I can remove the file? Thank you in advance for any information you provide.

Trish

pegasus-remove [-d dagid] [-v] [rundir] DESCRIPTION
The pegasus-remove command remove a submitted/running workflow that has been planned and submitted using pegasus-plan and pegasus-run. The command can be invoked either in the planned directory with no options and arguments or just the full path to the run directory. OPTIONS

If running the command outside the workflow directory then a full path to the workflow directory needs to be specified or the dagid of the workflow to be removed. pegasus-remove takes the following options: -d dagid, --dagid dagid The workflow dagid to remove -v, --verbose Raises debug level. Each invocation increase the level by 1. rundir Is the full qualified path to the base directory containing the planned workflow DAG and submit files. This is optional if pegasus-remove command is invoked from within the run directory. RETURN VALUE
If the workflow is removed successfully pegasus-remove returns with an exit code of 0. However, in case of error, a non-zero exit code indicates problems. An error message clearly marks the cause. FILES
The following files are opened: braindump This file is located in the rundir. pegasus-remove uses this file to find out paths to several other files. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
PATH The path variable is used to locate binary for condor_rm. SEE ALSO
