How to delete a file with garbage in its name

Does anyone know an easy way to delete a file that has garbage in its name?
I used <Complete> on a name change, and now the file is inaccessible
to the normal deletion methods.
Use Dired. Or give Delete File a starname that uniquely matches part
of the name of the file (no good if the entire file name consists of
the #\Complete character).
