Answer 1

You don't need the " ' " around your wildcard. Just use rm -rf *.upload. And if they are just files you don't need the -r option.

EDIT:

Actually, because you have a "-" at the beginning of your file's name, the command line tries to interpret it as an option for the command, messing things ups. What you need to do is to select the file using ./ like so: rm ./*.upload. I can't explain more why it does that, but this should work.
