I would follow the directions for the avi files first
which is below the link when you go to the webpage then
follow the one that the link goes to.

Also try Safemode by hitting f8 at start up, and try
deleting it under the admin user.

Boot into Safe Mode.

Use Command line:

del /f <location>\filename
