Can you delete it in safe mode?

no its not accessible i tried using different softwares also . But nothing ->like shredders etc. Is there some way cause 2 gig is too much space in C drive that has most programs installed ?

Format and re-install.

When booting in safe mode login as administrator.

Apart from that I'm out of ideas, sorry.

You can try this. I have not had to use it but have heard of mainly successful results from it.
Killbox
KillBox is a tool to delete in-use files, if the file is running, KillBox will attempt to end the process (close the running file) and delete it.

Try this software called UNLOCKER. It works for me all the time consistently. And I am sure it will work for you too. Try this out.
