    It is a Microsoft Word temp file. Word uses them to store autosaves I think. It should get rid of them itself but maybe it crashed and didn't have a chance. Try relaunching Word and reopening the most recent file. Or maybe try restarting and see if the system gets rid of it.

    What type of file is it? What extension? Do you get an error message when attempting to delete?
