Have you tried just dragging it into the recycle bin?

If you can don't empty it just yet.

Sometimes when dragging does not work, you can use the "cut" command.

Before you do anything else, run Ad-Aware and do a full system virus scan. Once these two possibilities are ruled out you can look into other solutions.
