Is this Windows? If so, what version?

You could use another file-manager tool that overwrites any kind of passwords...google different File Explorer programs, there are a ton out there that will do this. Otherwise, have you tried to delete it from the Command Prompt? Thats another idea, just type Start->Run "CMD" then use the "del c:\folder that \bad file is in

Finally, I assume you tried this, booting to safe mode, logging in as admin, and deleting it that way?
