it could be a permissions problem too
have you tried right clicking on the folder and taking ownership and setting permissions.

Also antivirus programs can lock a file while scanning it.

if ".con" appears in the file name odd things happen

and of course the old restart in safe mode and try again.

boot to safe mode login as admin, try to delete if needed , if doesn't work right click properties set permissions then try to access it or delete it if you want.
