rm -i ./* # and make sure you only hit Y when you really mean it :)


Depending on your shell TAB-completion might be useful (at least zsh
would probably handle it gracefully :).


Also of interest may be `ls -b' or `ls -B':


     -B      Force printing of non-printable characters (as defined by
             ctype(3) and current locale settings) in file names as \xxx,
             where xxx is the numeric value of the character in octal.

[...]

     -b      As -B, but use C escape codes whenever possible.
