Actually, I don't want you tracking that file after all ... but how do I get Perforce to listen?

Sometimes I "Mark for Add" and add files to Perforce which I actually didn't want Perforce to worry about.

Is there a way to revert it so it just goes back to showing in P4V as an "untracked" item?

See my example:

I've added mil.ico and mil3.ico by mistake. I just want them to go back to looking like test.ico, ie. ignored by Perforce:

Even if I save a copy of the files, then delete, then put them back (all of which is a serious bore), P4V still knows they have a history and marks them as shown:

I just want Perforce to leave a file alone when I tell it to.
