yeah mate i had exactly the same problem. no need to worry about safe mode or
anything complicated or time consuming. check out :

at the bottom of that page there are 2 links to programmes to use to delete
a stubborn file. try the DELETE FXP FILES programme. it worked straight away
for me. jus brouse for your file and select it then delete. as if it were a
normal file.
