Default Can't delete .mpg file

Hope someone can help me out here. I downloaded a short .mpg file ( 4.2 MB) from Limewire, and scanned it with NOD. No virus indicated. I tried opening it, and it ended up being a short banner ad for a stupid adult site. Now I can't delete the file. I've tried everything I can think of, including safe mode, logging on as an administrator, all of the various file shredding programs, etc. When I click on delete through windows explorer, I get a progress bar showing up, but it just goes on forever with zero progress reported. Any file deleting program simply hangs, including hijackthis...I've done a complete system scan of my hard drive, and there are no viruses. I can't even delete the folder the .mpg file was downloaded to. Please help! The file in in my user profile, and now it's showing up in !Killbox as well since I tried using that program to get rid of it.
