How did you get ownership ?
You said you downloaded it from another computer onto your machine.
Right-click the file Properties Security Advanced Owner tab.
What does it say in the 'Current owner box'?
If it isn't you, you haven't taken ownership.




I downloaded it from the internet - my college's Blackboard system.
It has my account listed as the Current owner.

Then I am out of ideas regarding permissions.
If it were my machine the next step would be to boot from a BartPE or linux
disk and delete from there.
(If you can't get such a disk I can give you a link to mine.)
