How to delete a non existant file?

I have a directory that contains a file
?---------   ? ?       ?            ?            ? 1184898963.V901I2e6138
I can't delete this file. I can't delete the directory either. I'm think a file system check might fix it but I'd rather not have to take the system down. It's a remote server and I don't have physical access to it. I has no inode, no permission, no owner. I suspect this happened when the box went down because of bad ram a while back. Any ideas?
Thanks
Martin
