How to delete a view tag with special characters in ClearCase

Question

I have a view, for some reason, it was named with a special character: "0x7f", at least I think so..
For example:

MyView123456   -> MyView'0x7f'123456

I can only found this view by

ct lsview #list all views.

And I found this "0x7f" when dump the outputs to a file.
And using vim.

Now I'm trying to delete this view totally.
I can unregistered and delete the view itself by -uuid. But I cannot delete the view tag.
And I also found wildcard '*' seems not working.

Does anyone know how to delete this view tag?
P.s. I'm under Linux, and no GUI.

Try first if dome of the workaround described in "Removing ClearCase objects whose name begins with a hyphen", when using cleartool rmtag:

 cleartool rmtag -- MyView*

Note the use of '--' in order to separate the command from its parameters

The wildcard being expanded by your shell, try and use it instead in the cleartool interractive session:

cleartool
> rmtag -- MyView*

In Linux shell, see if a single quote is enough:

cleartool rmtag -- MyView'0x7f'123456
# or
cleartool rmtag -- 'MyView0x7f123456'
