Can't delete a file

I copy a CD (which I created) to my desktop. The CD was highly structured
(lots of folders and long filenames) and now I can delete the folder from my
desktop.

The problem is caused by a single file which is buried in the last folder.
The file is physically there (well, I can see it) but I can't delete it.
When I try, nothing happens. If I try to open the file (it's a Word file)
then Word opens - but nothing else happens - just a grey screen.

Does anyone know what's happened? Is the file actually there? Has the filing
system lost track of this file?

How can I cure this problem?

Cheers.

It's more serious than that. When I right click I don't get a "Properties"
option. It's some cut-down menu - as if it's not a file at all. Thanks
anyway.
