I've got an mp3 file on my desktop and it wont let me delete it. When I try to, the explorer.exe will freeze and go to 100% cpu usage and it will also do this when I right click the file and click properties. I've tried booting in safe mode and it does the same thing. I have to keep restarting windows every time I try to delete the file.
 
Try pressing Shift + Delete - this permanently deletes a file, bypassing the recycle bin. Failing that, I'd use Unlocker as I've had good results with it in the past.
 
Thanks guys but for some reason it let me cut and paste the file into recycle bin where I was able to delete it.

Shift + delete was what I was doing swinnie, it just caused problems with explorer.exe.
