Please help: I cannot delete file

[dzelisko]

Hello,

I have a problem with deleting files in win2000 server:

there is a file named "^" and I cannot do anything with it. Is there
any way to delete it.

I got this file when copying a website from the web server.

Thanks in advance.
Regards, dz

From a command prompt try;

del \\.\Drive:\directory\filename
(Note: the period between \\ and \)

Also

dir /x
and try deleting them using their 8.3 short names.
