Delete a file with no extension and size 0

I have a file that is listed as a system file (though it is not) and it has no extension and size of 0 bytes. 

dir /x /A:S produces:

9/24/2008 04:46 PM0vote doc.

1 file(s)0 bytes

del /A:S vote* produces:

The system cannot find the file specified.

I remember a few years ago I had a similar problem. I can't remember the syntax but it was something like del /.//E:\folder\*.*

If anyone has a suggestion, I'd be glad to try it. (And no I can't install some program to remove it. I have to do it at the command line)

thanks,
