The easiest way I have found to get rid of a file like this is from DOS. If
it has a dash for the first file letter you can "ren -*.* to temp.tmp"
or whatever you want for a destination file name. If that doesn't work, you
can temporarily move all the other files out of the directory, then "ren
*.* temp.tmp" to rename the file. Once renamed, it is easily deleted.
