No processes will be attached to the file, and no permissions will keep the file from being deleted.

There are only 2 reasons (to my knowledge) for a file to be "un-delete-able". Either it is corrupted (and therefore unreadable) or it is in a running process (attached to a system process or as a standalone process). For the former, it might be advisable to use the AUTOEXEC.BAT deletion method, or perhaps download a deleter for such files. For the latter, it might be better to terminate the process in question instead of explorer. Multiple methods can be employed to find out what's the process in question - Enabler, ProcessExplorer, etc. My 2 cents Somehow, I doubt that the above 3 methods will delete any and every file.
