Weird File Names (Removing them)

I run a public access site, and have some users that are fairly new to the
Uni* world (myself included). It takes my users a while to get used to the
environment, and often they press many wrong keystrokes before getting the
hang of things.
One of them has a file in his home directory that I can't get rid of to save
my life. In a regular 'l' listing, it has a filename of the greek letter
Sigma. Doing an l with the -b option reveals a value of '/744'. Anyone can
give me a way to delete this annoying little file ? Thanks.
rm refuses to recognize it, even if I just try to delete all files interactively. That is, 'rm -i *' skips over it.
