It's a bit of an old thread now Shog, however, the majority of the time, it's not as easy as you seem to think deleting a file that gives an 'Access is Denied' message.
If deleting in Safe Mode doesn't work, it will often need a third party application such as Unlocker to actually delete the file in question.
