Restarting should help. Lemme guess its something like "is in use" or "access denied". A lot of times you will have to just wait till you restart. Although I do believe there is some trick, or a program to help with that but I don't know.
Try a restart first though.

this icon wouldn't happen to be porn, or supposed to be porn would it? i remember coming across a couple of files that just won't go away... then i went to the task manager, seems these files opened up some process (other then a media player, something i still don't even know what it was/did)
i had to end the process manually before it'd let me get rid of it.. press crtl+alt+del go to processes and end every process that says owner (or if you actually customized anything on your comp it might say somethign else, your name maybe) EXCEPT explorer.exe (or whatever browser your comp runs) and taskmgr.exe, then try to delete it again.
