how to delete a large file in sco openserver 6

How does one delete a large file say file.txt of size 4331456 blocks (2217697280 bytes) in a directory in sco openserver 6 ...

Upon executing the command
# rm file.txt

the error message is as below ...
rm: file.txt non-existent: Value too large for defined data type (error 79)

any help ??

Maybe you can try truncating the file first?

> file.txt
or
echo > file.txt
 
then...
rm file.txt
