how to delete a file started with '-'

Question

How can I delete a file whose name started with '-'?

For example, if I have a file named -a and I delete it with:

    rm -a

I will get:

    rm: invalid option -- 'a'
    Try 'rm --help' for more information.

So how can I do it?

rm ./-filename
rm -- -foo
