Sadly, I created a file called "--13\:59\:12--".
Now I`m too daffy to delete it again..

Code:

rm --13\:59\:12--
rm: unrecognized option `--13:59:12--'
Try `rm --help' for more information.

I can see the problem with such a filename but haven`t any idea how to solve it.
I`ve tried "--13\:59\:12--" , '--13\:59\:12--' and `--13\:59\:12--`, but it didn`t help.
