First you might want to look inside folder with ResEdit or DiskTop to
see whether there is an invisible file in there.

Once you are sure you want to junk it, here is what I do.  Hold down
the option key while you throw it away.  It will let you.  Now try to
empty the trash, it will likely complain.  Now reboot and try again
and it should work.  I'm not really sure what is going on, but it
works for me.
