Deleting a file called .

Really need help here... OS X 10.2 system. I copied a number of old OS 9 icons over to an OS X drive, then realized that I didn't want them after all. So I dragged the directory to the trash. Unfortunately, one of the files was named period (.), which has a special meaning in the UNIX world (current working directory). Now there is a file in my trash that cannot be deleted under any circumstance (or moved, renamed, etc.). I tried deleting it from under Classic, but Classic cannot see that particular volume.

Any ideas??
