Deleting a File

[Barry Karas]

I cannot delete a file in the normal way: 1. by pressing the delete button
on the keyboard; 2. by marking the file - while I am viewing it in a file
manager - right clicking, and choosing "Delete"; or by doing the same thing
[as in #2] but pressing the Windows key plus "D".

Is there any way to get rid of this file? If not, I could be at the mercy of
a super hacker.

By the way, I use updated (daily) antivirus program and an antispyware
program.

Thank you.
