You can't remove it via Safe Mode, boot in Safe Mode with Command prompt and use the del command. If that doesn't work, head over to our Handy Tools section and try to Delete FXP tool or Move on Boot.

Hey
Have you tried to erase the file from dos mode
Try to run cmd, and in the terminal window, navigate to
the selected directory and try to delete the file from the
prompt line
