If you have an undeletable, unmodifiable file on the disk (whatever the OS), this either means you have file permissions problems or you've hit an OS bug. On MacOS 7-9 and Win9X, it's possible but extremely unlikely for an application bug to cause this kind of problem. On MacOS X and Win NT/2K/XP, it's not possible -- the application just cannot modify the directory structure no matter what it does. The old Windows FAT16 file system cannot store files over 2GB. The newer FAT32 and NTFS file systems can. You can see the disk's format by getting properties on the disk. The old Mac HFS file system cannot store files over 2GB. The newer HFS+ (MacOS Extended) file system can. You can see the disk's format by "Get Info" on the disk. In order even begin to tell what's going on, you need to know the disk format and the error messages that you're getting when you try to do something to the file. It would also be useful to know the file's properties / info; in particular its permissions and its exact size in bytes.
