Default Can't delete item from destktop


Found a solution. I have notepad++ installed, so when I right click the
file, one of my option is edit with notepad++. I clicked that, and it
said the file does not exist, do you want to create it. I click yes,
just type anything and save it. Then delete the file as normal. I
suppose it may work to just create any file that you can save with the
exact same name, so that it will take the place of the file you can't
get rid of. Then delete that file. Hope it works for you too.
