This has worked for me a couple of times:

1. Rename the folder (or directory if you will) the problem file is in.
2. Create a folder with the original name of the renamed folder.
3. Copy all files, except problem file into the newly created folder (you
should make sure your computer is set to see hidden and system files when
you do this - Windows explorer>Tools>Folder Options>View).
4. Delete the original folder with problem file.
5. Rename new folder to original name of original folder.
