Another method would be to boot into the Recovery Console
and delete the file from there. You must first enable access to
all folders by doing this:
- Run gpedit.msc
- Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Windows Settings /
Security Settings /
Security Options / Recovery Console: Allow floppy disk access . . .
- Set this policy to "Enabled".
