The file's got holes in it (regions of zeros), so it doesn't occupy as
much space on disk as it claims to. The reason your normal tools can't
deal with it is that your C library has been built without LFS
support, so stat will fail on files larger than 2 gig.

You can remove it by just calling unlink.

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
unlink("mybigfile");
}
