Explorer problem with deleting file

    I've got a file that I'm trying to delete, but can't.

    When I click on it, and press <DEL> nothing happens. When I drag it to the Recycle Bin, nothing happens. If I right click on it, I can only Open... or Send To>, no Delete option. If I try to delete the folder it's in, I get a msg that the file doesn't exist. It's really annoying.

    I've tried restarting my machine to no avail. Anyone any ideas?

    Have you tried deleting it from a command prompt, or in safe mode?

    Spybot Search & Destroy also has a erase feature that can resolve this annoying problem
