There are multiple possibilities:
1) Use a shell which supports tab completion, and tab-complete the
entry.
2) Embed the '^M' using '^V''^M' (type ctrl-v then ctrl-m.)
3) Use shell globbing (if the file is abra^Mcadabra, type:
    ls abra*
    rm abra* (only if the above matched exactly what you want to delete.)
