It sounds as if the .tmp file is active, hence why you can't delete it!
What does it say in the Details tab?
Have you looked in the Task Manager to see if there is anything running that could be causing this?

Robert808. Open Computer & left click mouse on Local Disc (C), when that opens click on Users, then Robert, then Desktop & see if that temp file is listed, which it should be, now Right Click mouse on it & see if the menu that appears has Open File Location, if it does see where it is located as that might help you work out what it is.

I tried your last suggestion. It didn't show in the list. The tried and true restart got rid of it. Thanks for your help.
