Try the following:
- reboot
- run spyware scanners such as Spybot, Ad-Aware, Pest Patrol, etc.
- update your antivirus scanner and scan C:
- reboot into safe mode and delete them from there
- make sure you're logged into Windows with an administrator account

If you have a bootable CD, boot with it and delete the file (from a command prompt or terminal window). Otherwise, open a command prompt and run attrib (with that file's name) in the directory that file is located in. See if it's read-only or system. (If it is, attrib can change it - type attrib /? for help).

If this is not affecting your computer's performance, then leave it alone. Usually Windows keeps empty files like that as a record only. If there are files, it will show, if not don't worry about it.
