Try using a wildcard or deletion via right click when it's
on the screen (e.g. as the result of a Find File).

After being targeted with gigabytes of trash by the "SWEN" worm, I have
concluded we must conceal our e-mail address. Our true address is the
mirror image of what you see before the "@" symbol. It's a shame such
steps are necessary. ...Charlie

Click "Start", "Run", type "scandskw" and click "OK".
Click the "Advanced" tab and check the boxes marked
"Invalid file names" and "Report MS-DOS mode name
length errors". Then click "OK" and run scandisk on
the drive on which the problem file resides.
