To get rid of it either delete it by mean of your OS or enter DeleteFile[Directory[]<>"\\test"] in your Mathematica session. To delete the definition assigned to a symbol either use Clear[symbolname] or Remove[symbolname] example: In[1]:= f[x_] := Sin[Pi*x]; In[2]:= ??f Global`f f[x_]:=Sin[\[Pi] x] In[3]:= Save["test", f]; Remove[f]; In[5]:= ??f Information::notfound: Symbol f not found. More... In[6]:= !!test From In[6]:= f[x_] := Sin[Pi*x] In[7]:= DeleteFile["test"] In[8]:= !!test From In[8]:= General::noopen: Cannot open test. More... -- Peter Pein Berlin
