I did an ls on my home directory today and discovered I have a file, lenght 0

I escape all backslashes:

rm: cannot remove `\\254-][{}\\351\\350\\340': No such file or directory

What the hell is this file dated Jan 3rd and how do I remove it?

Thanks!

Assuming it's the only file in the directory with '351' in the name, try:

rm *351*
