My computer crashed halfway through downloading, and now i've got an un-useable icon on my desktop.

Every time I try to delete it, a box comes up saying...

The item "halo2.mov" is being used by another task right now. (Other tasks may include moving, copying, or emptying th Trash.)
Try again when the task is complete.


I've even tryed leaving it overnight, and nothing happens.

Someone HELP.
 
Open the terminal and type:

cd ~/.Trash
<hit return>

sudo rm -rf

put a space after the f and drag the item you want deleted to the terminal so that its path is automatically entered, then press return

give it your admin password and hit return
