I remember I had to do the following on an Unix mainframe, very long
ago; should work in linux as well:
1/ get a directory listing by inodes (it's some option of ls -- "ls -i"
possibly)
2/ rm the file with that inode (possibly "rm -i").

	Look at your local man to get the exact syntax, because I don't
precisely remember it, and I don't have this at hand.
