    Cant you just uninstall it by going into Control Panel >> Add or Remove Program and just remove the file that you want to.

    You shouldn't really just delete .exe files, normally want to use add/remove or uninstall option to remove a program.

    But if you must, then going into safe mode would work. And if all your exe files are like that might be a ownership thing.

    Take ownership of the file then try and remove.
