Removal of Files
On our system here, some idiot has created a file called -jimbo.sql
The - at the beginning of the filename means that the system sees it as an option when you try to delete it and thus it doesn't work. We need to get rid of this file (it's around 700MB in size), does anyone know of a workaround?

Try:
Code:
rm "\-jimbo.sql"
