My company is still running VAX VMS 5.5-2. My moron boss has accidentally created a huge file named "H:\BCS02\VAX\BCS02_SYSD.bck" and now i am unable to delete it. "dir" command is listing the file along with size and all other specifications but all other commands including "delete"is refusing to recognize it (maybe because of all the unwanted characters in the file name).
Please help.

Wow ... a blast from the past! How are you attempting to delete the file?

What OS is that, exactly? The file name does not look like VAX VMS or OpenVMS...
