Why cant you delete it? Does it give an error message. There are a few

1 you dont have permisions
2 its in use by someone or something.

If its 3 then the disk is corupt try running chkdsk or scandisk to
check the disk you may find it has errors and the file isnt there when
its corrected the fault
