I believe u should Type

rm -r \'folder\'\$\'\\003\'

Basically a \ interprets the following character as a character. With the ' I’m not sure, so maybe

rm -r 'folder'\$'\\003'

could do the trick too

Edit: correct code

    After doing the step, the cursor simply came in the centre.

    there is a space between your first \ and the ' that doesn't belong there. (The backslash escapes the space, but not the apostrophe, that's why it's coloured red and not cyan)

    Press Ctrl+C and try again with the corrected command.
