Delete it in safe mode, then reboot. BTW, is there anything that shows up in Programs and features, that you should uninstall before deleting.

Nothing in programs.
I will try safe mode and let you know how i go.

Open a command prompt with elevated privileges by right clicking cmd.exe and selecting "Run as Administrator."
At the prompt, type
substituting the drive letter and folder path for "drive" and "folder."Code:cipher /w drive:\folder
For example: To delete LargeVideoFile.exe in the C:\Video folder
This operation overwrites the selected files with 1s, 0s and random characters. -WSCode:cipher /w C:\Video\LargeVideoFile.exe
Tried that also with no luck.
I might email Mircosoft and see what they have to say.

Hi shanefromoz
Just a thought while you are waiting for a reply from MS. You don't say in this thread what the file is named, I presume it is an exe file? How about renaming it and then trying to delete, you could try changing the file extension if renaming doesn't work! Worth a try.
Used unlocker from here http://ccollomb.********/unlocker/ and it worked.
It has not returned (for now).
Thanks for everyones help anyway.
Cheers
Opps no it has come back again.
Hmm now im confused as to why it keeps coming back even after beeing deleted.
