when i highlight it and try to delete it from the top menu, nothing happens.
anyone know what's wrong and how i got about deleting it?

if you can highlight it hold down the shift key then press delete that might
do it. Note of caution this deletes forever not just to the recycle bin.

Hi

What size is the file?

Try deleting the file from a command prompt. It that fails, try Safe Mode.

it's 10.6mb. i've tried the highlight and shift/delete, but that didn't
work. It wouldn't work in safe mode either.

What do you mean by command prompt?
