Is there anyway to force delete it?

Yup, two ways.
1. boot to safe mode without loading services or the registry and then delete it.
2. Kill it from a real DOS prompt. When you kill something in DOS, it's really dead. the sytax is "del c:\path\path\file.ext"
Not even windows can stop you if you boot to the dos prompt.
Just another reason DOS is still the old standby and one heck a raw power OS.
