Try Right clicking> Properties. If the file is Read only, uncheck it, Apply, Ok. Then try deleting it.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion but read only is not checked. Deleting was unsuccessful

Did you ever get your file delete. I have the same problem with a file. I went and printed out the remove file that was in the Reply but I do not have the knowledge to complete the task.  Did you find more detailed information on how to delete a file through comman prompt. Thank You RxVrk

I have the same problem & nobody has had the correct answer or solution yet! The file cannot be renamed or deleted! It has no virus, not spyware & is empty. If anyone has the answer please post it.

Thanks,:smileysad:

I finally got rid of my file. But it took a window update that crashed my computer to do it. Not a good solution
