Can't delete file on USB Drive

[serendipiti]

Hi!I use a Transcend JetFlash drive 512MB for my backup and carrying files.A few days back,while working in a cyber cafe,the comp rebooted suddenly and i was unable to eject the drive i.e remove it properly, and from then on i am seeing a file with a name containing random charcters(size 0 KB).This file can't be deleted.I have run a scandisk(windows proprietary and Norton Disk Doctor) and yet am unable to delete the file.On trying it says:Can't access the file named...
I have also run a virus check on the drive and results are negative.
Kindly suggest away in which i can delete the file.

Try Unlocker to delete the file, otherwise try to remove the file from DOS or Linux

You know something? I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that.
