You can try to delete it in SAFE MODE. If it is saying it is being used by a file or program, it might be important.
Press F8 on bootup, and select SAFE MODE for the boot option. Try deleting it there.
If that doesn't work, it is most likely being used by the OS for some reason.
If you can't delete it, I wouldn't worry. 4.75 MB isn't very big at all.
Hope this helps!

If you really must delete it, though I recommend you don't, Unlocker is your best bet. It'll tell you what prog is using it and allow you to rename move or delete it. You can download it at http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ it's safe I use it myself just right click on the file and choose unlocker from the context menu .
