try this out right on the file go to properties and rename change its extension to .txt or .doc and then apply it and then try to delete it.. hope it may work or if it also does not work then download unlocker it is great tool to delete or unlock files.

Re CCleaner safest tool to remove all your unnecessary and temporary files that keep running on your hardrive over time. Cookies and temp files. You need to select items that you want to remove from your system. You should use CCleaner monthly or if you use internet daily then you need to run it weekly.

If are still unable to delete it then this is done due to indexing service. Just right click on the file which you need to delete goto properties click on advanced and uncheck “allow indexing” after that you will be able to delete this file ..just try it out
