Cygwin translates filenames so that characters which are allowed by POSIX but forbidden by Windows (such as the asterisk) are translated into private use area unicode characters.
Your attempt at an ls long listing suggests that there may be more to your filenames than just a simple asterisk.
A few questions:
Which version of the cygwin.dll are you using?
How were these files created? You glossed over this earlier, so please tell us everything you can about the sequence of commands and events which produced these files.
Have you tried simply deleting them using Windows' file manager (Explorer)?
Each of the following pipelines should be run with the directory containing the problematic files as the current working directory.
For an unambiguous representation of ls' output:
Code:
ls | od -b
