Object with Invalid Name

Anyone know of a way (other than maybe DST) to get ride of an object that 
has an invalid name?  We have an file that has the name of  "1", don't 
know how it got there but has been there since '98  (it might be the file 
formally named Prince). 

Only way we found it was thru some software we are using to monitor and 
keep authorities compliant.  It showed up on the list as Non-Compliant.

You can't delete/rename/etc or do a display of the File Description 
directly.  Only way you can see it is to do a WRKOBJ or DSPFD for that 
library and do all files,  then it will be in the list that it gives you. 
If you try and access it directly then you get the message that object 
name is not valid.

Strange?
