Default Deleting a bad file

I downloaded a DVD movie .AVI file. It seems to be corrupted, and won't open with any of the three programs I have tried. (the other AVI movie file I have works fine.)
The problem is that I can't seem to DELETE the file (over 770MB) . I hvae tried many times, and each time get a message that it is being used by another program. I have tried closing all other open programs, have tried doing the delete just after a 'cold' boot, etc. Nothing workis. I have tried to check 'properties' to see if it is locked, but clicking on on the properties button is ignored by this file.
ANY IDEAS would be appreciated.
