How do I delete a file with name ''$'\r'?

Question

For some reasons, I have a file in one of my directories that I cannot delete:

$ ls -al
drwxrwxr-x 2 xxx xxx 4096 Oct 10 14:05 ''$'\r'
(more files follow...)

The problem is that I cannot delete it. I tried rm ''$'\r' and ls using wildcards to at least see what it matches, but had no success. Interestingly, ls -al ?, ls -al ??, etc. does not list the file.

Probably I could delete the entire directory and restore the other files afterwards, but I think it should be possible to 1) list the proper file name, and 2) then delete the file using this name.

I finally managed to do it this way:

ls -i # find the inode of the file
find . -inum 4350083 -delete 

Not sure why the name is not listed in a form that can be entered. I tried enclosing it in $'...' but this also did not work.
