Christian, I think the Norton Commander does the job. Just go into
NC and move the bar on your file and press F8.
Or: Why not ask WP to get rid off it? With F5 get a list of your
directory and press D or something to delete it (or R to rename it)
Otherwise
del k?hler.mac
or
del *.mac
or del *.*
(Though I think you've tried that at least!)

Success, and post the result please!
