Use OS 9 to delete huge files that OS X won't delete
Authored by: mproud on Mar 16, '04 03:39:09PM

It sounds like perhaps this file was deemed dependent, that it was being used by an application or something.

I would try moving the file to a safe location (like the root of your home folder, or the desktop), restart, and then try deleting it (chmod-ing where necessary).

If the original poster could give us some light on what kind of file and where it was located, we could gain more insight to the problem.
