safe mode
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
Unlocker
just reset your pc and then delete it.
Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.

You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.
Ill try an unlocker, thanks for the replys.
GAH!
Its still there! Unlocker just says "could not be deleted, do you want object to be deleted at next reboot?"

Restart in safe mode, and then delete the file.
Another simple solution is to try renaming it and then deleting it.
Still no luck? OK, here is the best trick of all. Most sites give you cryptic Windows registry and DOS commands to remove a file, but the answer is so much simpler. Get a copy of MoveOnBoot. It's free and this simple tool allows you to Move, Copy or Delete files before Windows can lock or alter the files. The changes are made to your hard drive before Windows starts, hence it requires a restart of your system after you give MoveOnBoot its instructions. There are no messy boot or DOS commands, just a simple 3-step process.
Step 1: Locate the name of the file that is causing your problems.
Step 2: Decide if you want to copy, move or delete the file.
Step 3. Choose a destination for moving the file, or a new file name for the rename option (this option won't appear if you are deleting a file).
Click OK to confirm you want to process. The nice thing is that the program doesn't make you reboot straight away. It's a good idea to reboot ASAP, but if you are in the middle of something and want to wait, the program will simply run next time you start Windows.

Close processes and even close the files other process have handles on with killing the actual process.

Get Process Explorer, go to Find -> Find Handle or DLL, then enter the name of the file in the search field. It'll tell you which process is maintaining an open handle to the file in question.
The file is called: CD2_SOVIET_DISC.iso
Its from Red Alert 1 that EA is giving out free. Ill try process explorer and aussies ideas, thanks for replys all.

u sure u have un mounted it....sounds like the file is still locked somewhere
Are you "sharing" it?
Its not shared (im the only one who uses this computer - btw its not old, its this: http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668123.php), not sure about mounting and how to check. Really appreciate the help all, more karma when it recharges.
Just delete it from safe mode. Simple and fast solution

As an .iso is a dvd image you normally use a tool to be able to act as though the disc is in your drive.
If the .iso is being used by a program like daemon tools it will not let you delete it.
