It could be that you have an illegal filename to the file in question
(Certain chars can't be used for filenames but soemtimes you get them from
either coverdisks or warez cd's).

To get around this and delete them, simply open up a dos window and cd to
the recycle bin, then simply type delete *.*
As long as the file in question is not being used by windows you should be
fine.
