Hi,
I'm hopefull that you've already tried the empty trash from the GUI and that that just failed to remove the file, what I would also suggest is that you try and rename the file within the GUI and then delete it.
I have seen something similar to this on my Macbook, but can't remember whether I deleted it from the CLI or the GUI.
As a last option, you could also check out the stuff here at the
Apple Support page.
