To remove a link named - (dash), try rm ../- or any other path name which
does not begin with a dash (which would make it a flag).

Such links are often created when a typo messes up the typing of a flag
and the initial dash gets separated.

I've answered this question enough, that I hope the answer is of general
interest.
