The inode number is in the 1st column.
Code:
find . \! -name . -prune -inum 151855 -exec echo rm {} \;

Hi,

Please execute find command as below.

Code:
find . -inum 151855 -print

Given what you have shown us with the ls -lib, the following command should work:
Code:
rm reports*s

reportss should not collide with reports.

Hi Folks,

This would just seem to me that there is a backspace embedded in the file name.

Code:
e415243 on BUILD cathsunvs02 # od -c
reportys^?^?s
reports
0000000   r   e   p   o   r   t   y   s 177 177   s  \n   r   e   p   o
^Ce415243 on BUILD cathsunvs02 #

So most of the solutions above will work fine.

Regards
