can't delete movie - help

[.:Frog:.]

I download a movie the other night and for some reason it cannot be deleted.

It says file is in use when I try to delete it.
I restarted the computer and it says the same thing. So I hit ctrl-alt-delete and shutdown everything possible and the movie still doesn't delete.
Not knowing what else to do I run a scandisk, 3 virus scan programs and a few trogan scanners. none of them found any errors, viruses, trogans.

Does anyone have any clue what the hell is happening, or how to remove the file?

Start up in dosmode and delete the file

thanks, it was actually my girlfriend who downloaded something. I'll give it a try tomorrow. Hope it works

Dos is a good idea, but I've found safe mode is also rather painless.

I've used safe mode to delete a number of those viruses which are programed to activate themselves, add to auto-startup items and so on.
