You can delete (unlink) these files using a simple, native POSIX application. For example, the Windows NT Resource Kit includes such a tool, Rm.exe.
NOTE: POSIX commands are case sensitive. Drives and folders are referenced differently than in MS-DOS.
Usage assumes Rm.exe is either in the path, or the current folder:
rm -d //driveletter/path using forward slashes/filename
For example, to remove a file or folder named COM1 (located at C:\Program Files\Subdir in this example), type the following command:
rm -d "//C/Program Files/Subdir/COM1"
To remove a folder and its entire contents (C:\Program Files\BadFolder in this example), type the following command:
rm -r "//c/program files/badfolder"
Another option is to use a syntax that bypasses the normal reserve-word checks altogether. For example, you can possibly delete any file with a command such as:
DEL \\.\driveletter:\path\filename
For example:
DEL \\.\c:\somedir\aux
