Go to Control Panel and turn off UAC (User Account Control) and then
try to delete again. You can then restore UAC if you like.

Make sure no other application is using the file when you try to
delete it. If you still can't get rid of it, try from the Command
Prompt which bypasses all the GUI garbage.
