If you have XP just go to Windows Restore and go back a day or whatever.

what happens when you attempt to delete the file? get an error or absolutely nothing? restart the windows box in safe mode and try.

uhm... try looking at the properties, look to see who created the file (as in the user), make sure it some how is not in use????
