safety 1st. I agree. But my mind sometimes tends to forget the important instructions and to keep focussing on anything else

1. set the system to write:
mntroot rw
2. go to the directory that has the file.
cd {directory}
(change {directory} to what you need).
3a. remove the file you need with
rm {filename}
change {filename} to what you need.
OR
3b. if you want to be a bit more safe make a backup with:
mv {filename} {filename}.backup
4. set systeem to read only:
mntroot ro
5. and exit with:
exit
Just a friendly warning though...
Just make sure you think before you press enter when using mv and rm commands.
That includes to wait for someone to confirm that what I typed is correct (ie. never trust someone on his blue eyes when telling you to rm something
and always wait for a confirmation).
Because... NO ONE takes any responsibility for any of the commands and if something gets broken it is on you
