Not sure if this will work, but one way to get rid of the file is through DOS. Just Open up a Dos Prompt and navigate to the folder (or file) and delete it.

I had this, when you click on it in windows, it comes up with "explorer has caused an error in (some.dll) and will now close" this .dll was in my case one in the winzip folder. I deleted the .dll after a reboot, so it wasnt being used by windows at the time, them deleted the file itself. (i think this works............)
