The shell is seeing '# something something' as a comment.  You need to
quote it so that it won't see it as a comment and won't strip it.

  rm './#file#'

Those quotes keep it from looking like a comment.  They could be '' or
"" or the individual characters could be quoted with \# but I prefer
quoted strings myself over quoted characters.
