does it say why? or just not let you do it? you might be running a background service that will not let you delete it, or you might not have the permissions.

If it is permissions you need to take ownership. instructions here http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html?ltr=T

If it is a running service try booting in safe mode and deleting it then


hope this helps
