Hello Shw09, and welcome to Seven Forums.

In addition, you might see if restarting the computer may have it go away for you in case it's just a ghost file.

You could also see if you may be able to delete the file from within a command prompt.

File - Delete from Command Prompt

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Have you verified the file is still actually there?

How do I verify a file?

By restarting the computer to see if it's still there afterwards. :)

Thx for ur suggestions, but it seems what ever I click I get an error message saying that they cannot find this file.

Did you try the command prompt at boot to delete it?

Open Computer, navigate to C:\Users\Shw\Downloads. Is the file you are trying to delete there or not.

or ...

Click the Start Orb, type cmd and press Enter
Type cd \Users\Shw\Downloads and press Enter
Type dir and press Enter

Is the file there?
