Remove a file from Perforce control without deleting from workspace?

Question

Is there a way to remove files/directories from Perforce's control without deleting the file from the client workspace?

I'm indifferent about what happens to the files/dirs in the repository, I want to ensure that they ARE NOT removed from my local workspace.

Thanks.

Try

p4 delete -k <file>

It will update the server, but not touch the workspace.
