Enter safe mode and then delete the file...\n\nWhen pc starts up, hit F8 before the loading screen, till you see the Option to choose SAFE MODE...\n\nEnter Safe mode in your user name...\n\nBrowse to the file and delete it.

Oh dear. Had the same thing myself, my son and his girlfriend. Doesn't seem to do any harm, just a pain in the bum. You can try what you like to remove it and you will fail. You can delete every file that contains mention of it anywhere on your computer in any way, shape or form you like, and it will still be there. \nBut, give it time,. It goes of its own accord after so long. Just vanishes.

Two ways to try.\n1.  Boot into safe mode at a DOS prompt and delete it manually\n2. Set up a script to delete it on boot.

Sounds like you're using Windows Explorer - this 'error' comes up all the time and it's quite likely it's Explorer itself that's using the file.\n\nFirst thing is to close down applications that may be using the file - eg if it's a doc file you're trying to delete then close down MS Word.  If that doesn't resolve it then close down Windows Explorer.  Rebooting the computer will do the trick but it's quicker to kill explorer by holding down CTRL, ALT and DELETE simultaneously, click the PROCESSES tab, find EXPLORER.EXE on the list, highlight/click it, click END PROCESS, say YES to the warning message.  Explorer should now be terminated.  Next click on FILE from the top menu, click NEW TASK (RUN), type in the word EXPLORER and hit enter.  Explorer should now restart and you can try deleting the file again.\n\nIf this doesn't work then reboot the computer.

no it will not clean/delete your files. It will delete only unwanted files.

It won't let you delete it? Download "Unlocker"...it deletes just about every file.
