Weird filenames created by user "cannot stat" - can't delete

Somehow a user has got what appear to be tab characters at the front of some filenames on a linux box. The user was using the cpanel file manager. Now I can't read or delete these files (or I don't know how).

#cat \tclassifieds_viewtopic.php
cat: tclassifieds_viewtopic.php: No such file or directory

# cat "\tclassifieds_viewclassifieds.php"
cat: \tclassifieds_viewclassifieds.php: No such file or directory
