Hi Wildee...
I take it your trying to delete it through Windows?..in File Manager?
If so...I guess you highlighted the file's name and then chose file/delete...and the name of the file never went away...right?
That's weird...One suggestion I have is to go into DOS and to the c:\temp directory then type: DEL *.* then press enter.
Let us know,
Good Luck,
Dave

Is this a great site or what!
Try:
DELTREE C:\TEMP
Hopefully it will get rid of it. I have had them with messedup filenames that I could not get rid of without formatting.
I would run scandisk and see it the system can ix the file so it can be deleted.
