Are you trying to delete this file through FTP?
You might want to try connecting through SSH (as the root user) and seeing if it will go away like that.

What is the delete command to delete a directory/folder in SSH?

in SSH, connect as the root user, then type:
cd /home/username/whatever/directoryname/
then once you are in it, do:
rm filename
If the filename is invalid, you can type the first few letters, then press tab to have it autocomplete.
Let us know how it goes :-)
