are you using Windows or Mac? Which file are you trying to delete? If it's a system file, then be *glad* it doesn't let you delete it. There are ways to delete files/folders that are obstinate, but you need to give us more info, first. btw, "safe mode" as mentioned earlier is accessed by pressing F8 quickly, repeatedly as a Windows computer starts. *before* the Windows logo appears.
HOW TO: Delete an Undeletable or Locked File http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2007/06/04/how-to-delete-an-undeletable-file/
http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/ Right click on the file and select unlocker. It'll show all active processes that are using the file, any other things that may be associated with it causes the problems. Safemode or deleting the file outside of windows (Linux or any other software thats bootable from disc) Last but not least i'd try renaming the file then trying to delete it.
