Try placing the directory name in quotes "" or single quotes ''
Eg. rm -fr "test"

Subject: How to kill a dir?
I have a dir that I can't seem to delete and is giving strange errors..
[root@dev02 i386]# ls
ls: ??*?: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
test
[root@dev02 i386]# rm -rf test
rm: cannot remove directory `test': Directory not empty
[root@dev02 i386]# cd test
[root@dev02 test]# ls
ls: : No such file or directory
Anyone got any super commands for getting rid of a directory that just
will not go?
Thanks..
Later..
