I cannot delete it, its 0kb, and everytime i try and trash it, it keeps having this error:

I have tried replacing the file by using notepad and just coping the exact file name and extention, but it seems to re-apppear after a refresh?

Dratsab: Ty opening a DOS window with Administrator privileges and navigate to the relevant folder. If you can see the file using a dir command, type: attrib -s -h -r {filename} then press enter.
Follow this up with: del {filename}.
Go back to Windows Explorer and see if the file is still there. If it is, hit F5 to do a screen refresh. Hopefully this will take care of the problem.
My understanding is this problem can occur if an application (or applications) is taking up all (or a significant quantity of) RAM when the original file delete command is initiated.

As per Dratsab message, the command is:
attrib -s -h -r {filename
You missed the critical command - the attrib. Try that and see how you get on.
