Dunno if my answer got lost but a solution I would suggest is to
try a combination of ls/find/rm

My best bet on this issue is to list this by inode -i.e. ls -i
and then track this inode using the inum switch of the find
command to delete the item.

This is usually how I deal with such entries.

Hope that helps.
