Try rebooting and then deleting.

or
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 located.
At the command prompt type DEL <filename> where
