Tried rd command. it said file name incorrect(because of this strange char). The system has only one admin account which I use. If I can type this strange char(& larr ;) in file name I think I can delete this file. But how do I type this char?.

Try deleting the folder and all its contents at the command prompt:
RD "\\?\C:\Path to Stubborn Folder and File" /s /q
If the path is long or has strange characters you can drag it from Explorer.exe to the command prompt, that will avoid typing errors. If you drag it from Explorer.exe to the command prompt watch for the quotation marks, you only want one set of quotation marks in the command.

Have you tried logging on as a different user with administrator privileges and deleting the entire TIF folder?

Since it's in the Temporary Internet Files folder, you should be able to delete it in IE, along with everything else in there, by going to Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files, checking the box labeled "Delete all offline content", and clicking OK.

I tried wild card either ? or * it still can not be deleted. This char is ?(html char) or ←(numerical char reference) or 2190(unicode?)
This link will show this char http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/charsets/charsets.asp

You may be able to delete it from a Command Prompt with
a wild card, e.g. like so: del 070*.jpg.

The '?' char can not be display here but it shows in file explorer and
command prompt. It is ?(html char). Because of this '?' char the folder
can
not be deleted under the command prompt. What should I do?

Hello!
How can I delete this 070?27_1a[1?.jpg file in internet temp
folder?
It
can not be deleted under the dos. How do I input unicode char from
keyboard?
Thx
Try this in a Command Prompt (which you call "DOS"):
1. Navigate to the parent folder of the problem folder.
2. Type this command:
dir /x {Enter}
3. Make a note of the 8.3 folder name.
4. Type this command:
rd /s /q 8.3_folder name {Enter}
