Right click on the file
Select Properties from the menu that appears
Uncheck the box at the bottom which says "Read-Only"
If you are still unable to delete the file, reboot the PC in Safe Mode and repeat the process above.

Right "click" on the file and pull up it's properties. Uncheck the write protect(or read only)box. You will then be allowed to delete it! ;-)=
