Thanks to everyone that responded. We fixed the problem with a combination
of a re-boot logon single user , FTP and delete of the file.

  I would try what Wonsil suggested, ftp to it and then see if you can
delete it.

  The next step is to boot to single usr mode.

  Is anyone logged on, you can su and delete it?

    One of my support clients has HP-UX. They did an ftp of a very large
file and dropped it in root.

    When I try to logon it seems to NOT have room for me to get in. My guess
is we have to take the system down but I am not sure what to do when it
comes up if at all..

    HELP-----
