Cannot Delete Video Clip

I just purchased a video recording program called FRAPS
from fraps.com. My intent was to make videos of flight
sim games. After recording a number of clips (12 or so)
from MS Combat Flight Simulator 3, which were saved
in "My Videos", I deleted all but one 2.5gb segment which
simply refuses to be deleted. I have tried everything I
can think of including an attempt to delete it with the
computer in "Safe" mode. I continue to get the following
error message:

"ERROR DELETING FILE OR FOLDER
Cannot delete cfs3 2003-11-17-20-16-08-37;
It is being used by another person or program. Close any
program that might be using the file and try again."

There is no one else on this system, this computer is not
part of any network, and no other programs are running.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Try putting that video file into a separate, empty folder. Then delete that
entire folder and its contents (the movie file.)
