I wrote you already.
Use Delete from Chart tree

NO!
Do NOT use windows explorer for manipulating formula files.
ALWAYS Use CHART TREE - this is specialized "explorer" where
all formula operations should be performed, including:
- creation
- deletion
- moving
- renaming
To move the file simply DRAG it in CHART TREE with RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON.
