I accidentally named a file ~ when I was trying to move it to my home directory. And now in my / there is a file called ~ and I have no idea how I would remove it.
How would I remove a file that I accidentally renamed ~?
Put the filename in quotes:
rm '~'
You can follow the bash manual:
https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Tilde-Expansion.html
If a word begins with an unquoted tilde character (‘~’), all of the characters up to the first unquoted slash (or all characters, if there is no unquoted slash) are considered a tilde-prefix. ...
You could just use a backslash to remove it.
rm \~
