Can't delete file from desktop.

[cragwin]

i downloaded a setup file for a program to my desktop. its called ''install''
when i try to send it to recycle bin it comes up with this error message.

''cannot delete install: it is being used by another person or program.
close any programs that might be using the file and try again''

i dont know what programs could be using this file because i completely forgot what this setup file is for.

any ideas of how to delete this file?

A good program to use is unlocker, I use it all the time when I want to delete file or folders being accessed.
