Prohibited file name – can't delete backup file

I installed this plugin and performed a back-up, using an apostrophe (') in the file name. XCloner accepted the file name.

 

What has happened now is that I can't delete the file that has this file name. FTPing to the site to rename it and delete it brings back the error '553 Prohibited file name'. I can't rename it in XCloner, nor delete it.

 

Can you please let me know how I can delete this back-up file. It is 375.6MB and too large, so now I can't log-in to CPanel because 'the server is running out of disk space'.

 

Thanks in advance.

Try deleting it from cpanel, if that doesn't help, try checking with your hosting support!
