I cann't delete a File..

Question

I downloaded a file, but it didn;t work properly and now i am stuck with an empty file on my desktop, it has no extension, it is just called "file", and whenever i try to delete/move it it errors and says it cannot read from the source file.

How can i delete it?

Answer 1

Tried ridding of it in safe mode?

Answer 2

If you wish to use that file, add an extesion by renaming the file. Do you know which formati it is?
And If you want to delete it - try the following:
Create a file with the same name on your desktop and when the system asks what to do (the file ***.*** already exist...) and choose 'replace'. after it I suppose it would be possible to delete it.
