You can try to delete it from the terminal:
Applications-->Utilities-->Terminal.
Type "rm" (without the quotes), spacebar, and then drag n' drop the item into the window. A full path should appear (like /Users/yourname/Desktop/yourfile)
In your termianl window you should see this:
press enter and see what happens.
Take care, because you cannot undo this: the file should be completely gone.
if this doesn't work, you might try with "sudo rm" etc. and enter an administrators password when prompted.
Good luck!
PS. tell us whether this worked.
