How do I delete file Windows 7 64 bit?

Hi elija

I need to know what is the file type, is it system file or just normal program in use?

Any way restart your pc then keep pressing F8 at start up log in with safe mode option
do not freak out from the windows it will be different a little bit 

Try to delete it ,if it did not work open task manager ctrl +alt+del end any open programs then go to process tab 
and end any thing related to the file then try to delete it again

be careful maybe the file should not be deleted , it is  system file or a virus you should scan your pc incase
