Answer 1

Restarting your computer is always a smart thing to do. If you still have that problem. Try hitting control, alt, delete and stopping any process that might be using the file. But I bet restarting will fix it.

Answer 2

A file that in normal use is not erasable, can be deleted usually in Safe Mode:

1) Restart the computer.
2) As your computer restarts but before Windows launches, press F8 (in case more than once)
3) Use the arrow keys to highlight the Safe Mode option, and then press ENTER.
4) Delete the file.
5) Restart the computer as you normally would.
