How to delete a hard link

[hpp3]

I've never messed with hard links before as I never thought I'd have a use for them. I read in the manual about hard links and it helped, but now I have a minor problem.
I was debugging a Blackbox plugin as it did not work with no discernable reason why. In checking the depencies using NT Dependency Walker, it said it could not find BLACKBOX.EXE. No doubt, it's not in the search path, duh. So I made a shortcut to it in C:\. No dice. (I didn't want to simply copy&paste the exe, no reason why, just didn't) Remembered that X2 lets me make a hard link. Still no dice. Finally copied blackbox.exe to the plugin dir and that worked. Now I have a hard link in my root dir and it won't let me delete it. The manual says I can, what's up?

deleting hard links is just like normal files so all the normal cliches apply. Try rebooting
