not to sound smug, but this is a prime reason to have a dual boot system...deletion 'remotely' of a file like this is easy...

CCleaner didn't remove it, and neither did any of the other programs mentioned. It doesn't show up as a virus or malware of any kind. I just don't understand what kind of a file this thing is that it won't go away.

I don't know if this will work, but someone recently posted it as a solution for a file they couldn't delete.

"Drag it to your desktop and delete it from there".

Can't hurt, might work.
