Have you tried deleting in safe mode?

You could try the following otherwise if that doesn't
work, I have provided a link for more info.
Good Luck.

Open the Command Prompt window and leave it open.
Close all open programs.
Click Start, Run and enter TASKMGR.EXE
Go to the Processes tab and End Process on Explorer.exe.
Leave Task Manager open.
Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the
folder where the undeletable file is in.
At the command prompt type DEL <filename> (filename is
the file you want to delete).
Go back to Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter
EXPLORER.EXE to restart the GUI shell.
Close Task Manager.
