So you likely want something like $ rm -i "$(ls | tail -1)" where the "-i" is for interactive mode (rm will ask you) and the quotation marks are such that this is treated as a single argument rather than many different ones. Note that you might also want to think of passing ls "-1" and and possibly sort before taking the tail.
