How to delete file "nul"?

Hi
bash allows to pipe to a file named "nul" e.g.:
echo test > nul
bash-2.05b$ ls -l
total 1
-rwxrwxrwx 1 pfeiffer mkgroup- 4 Jul 2 10:00 nul
The problem is that this file can not be deleted.
I was not able to delete it using the "rm" command in
bash, or "del" in a windows command line or the
windows explorer.
Any idea how this file can be deleted, without
booting an alternative OS?
Regards,
Michael
