O.P. corrupt file
I have a file on my computer that is corrupt, if I try and delete it, I get an error saying its corrupt.

How do I delete it?

RE: corrupt file
Try deleting with Unlocker. It kills all process associated with a file and also lets you delete a file on startup. Delete on Next Boot should do the trick for sure.

I had that problem on my external hard drive. What I did was run chkdsk /f/r <letter of drive> (example chkdsk /f/r C: ), and it made the file accessible.
