Default "cannot delete file"

Hiya, I have downloaded a couple of files that I am now unable to delete - the error message says "It may be in use by another application" even when it isn't. I suspect it is a dodgy file. Any advice on how I can get rid of it?
thanks for your help.

reboot your computer, then delete it..

if that fails, boot into safe mode and delete it...this is done by hitting F8 repeatedly just after your box passes POST (Power On Self Test)..when the boot loader screen comes up, choose safe mode....
