Invalid character in Winrar archive - unable to delete it

Hello *Smile I have problem deleting a file which i created with Winrar. I was trying to make an archive with the STALKER SOF patch and some of my save games to send them to a friend when i accidentally put a : (colon) character in the name of the zip archive. Now on the desktop i have file called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. which i am unable to delete because it says 'Could not find this item'. The filename i entered was 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl 1.0005' so i assume it thinks the file is located in 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:' drive which is non existing. Any way i can delete this file ?
