Why cant I move this file to the trash ?

Log into root, find your account then the desktop in that account and delete it that way. If not try using a bash terminal, that usually works. - in root -

what i usually do in this case is:
while logged in as an admin user, launch terminal. type:
"sudo rm -f "
without the quotes and with that extra space after it.
then drag the file you need to delete from your desktop to the terminal window. this puts that files path into the terminal prompt. hit return and put in your admin password if prompted.

cheers,

i'm going to guess that you forgot a step or something, but just try using this free program i found on versiontracker.com
ForceDelete1.2

It would be helpful if your screenshot also showed what you typed in, because I assume that you did it wrong.

It's as gone as it can be without a secure erase.
