Cannot delete/move/rename a file

Background -- unzipped a file using WinRAR but rcv'd message during process
stating that I was missing a file. File went ahead and uncompressed but
apprarently not fully. Cannot play file (video clip) as program says it is
unrecognizable. Only thing I can figure was that since file wasn't
successfully uncompressed, Windows doesn't see it as a valid file. Tried
deleting in SafeMode as well doing a search of Registry (didn't find it).
Need help! File is over 300mb. Pls don't tell me I have to re-format drive!
Thx.

RE: Cannot delete/move/rename a file - problem solved.

All,

I should have done a search before creating this post -- my bad. Anyway,
after doing a search, I found one response pointing to the KillBox program.
After trying it, it worked!!! Thanks anyway.
