This is a trick to delete an undeletable file by restoring a
file over it with a file created with the same name using a
drive imaging program.

Instructions:

1. Create a text file and write in it some letters, anything.

2. Save that file in your root drive (C: for example) with the
   same exact name and extension as the file you want to delete.

3. Now make a backup your new file (I used Acronis True Image).

4. Open your backup program and restore the file you created to
   the folder where the undeletable file is, overwriting it.

4. Now you can delete it!

5. Run chkdsk.
