Right click on it and left click on properties. What does it say? If it's a shortcut, click find target.

If you really want to delete it, download Unlocker.

it looks like one of those icons belonging to applications used by computer companies to download and install updated drivers. try to go to control panel and have a look at the installed programs. See if you can locate the icon from there.
