Deleting odd stream files.. -- MIDRANGE-L

Somehow we got stream files in the root file system with a "\" or "\\" in
the front on the name.  For example..

\\filename.txt

It's a stream file, not a directory.  When you try and delete it, it errors
out.  I've tried the del command but can't get rid of it.

Tried del('/\\filename.txt') didn't work.  (This is what option 4 tries to
do).  tried a bunch of other stuff, no dice.

Any ideas?
