Thankfully Emacs's file manager Dired lets me easily pretend this pesky little file, as well as those produced by a LaTeX run, doesn't exist.

  (setq dired-omit-mode t
        dired-omit-files "^.+\\.\\(DS_Store\\|aux\\|bak\\|bbl\\|bcf\\|blg\\|dvi\\|ent\\|idx\\|ilg\\|ind\\|log\\|orig\\|out\\|pdf-view-restore\\|pdf#\\|reg\\|run.xml\\|synctex.gz\\|toc\\)$")

"easily" you say?

Well sure it's a bit noisy but it's just a bit of regex.
