Win7 cannot rename, delete or move a file on my desktop

[MowyTone]

As above really. when trying to move it, it will sit there saying calculating time. same happens for deleting also. when trying to rename the file it crashes explorer. scanned the file and nothing found. its a media file that has been watched and now just needs to be moved off my desktop. anyone got any ideas?

only thing I can think of is delete local profile from another admin account.

What type of file?

 

[MowyTone]

file extension is .mkv

edit: google calls that file "Matroska Media Container". I have any other files of this type that have not given me any issues

 

[d_brennen]

Try doing it via a command prompt;

start > type cmd
cd Desktop
del <name_of_file>

Try doing it via a command prompt;

start > type cmd
cd Desktop
del <name_of_file>

And elevate the Commnd Prompt to Admin by typing CMD in the start menu search box and hold Right Ctrl and Right Shift before hitting enter

How do I get rid of mine?

Boot from a live Linux disk like Ubuntu. Linux doesn't give a fig about Winows permissions
