remove strange file names
I once was asked in a job interview, how I would remove a file if this one started with a “-”
open your terminal
touch -myPictures
then try rm -myPictures and see what happens 
so how would you do it?
there are two ways to do it (i am sure there are mores, but hey why bother?)
1) rm ./-myPictures
2) rm — -myPictures
