The code (registry tweak) here will add delete on reboot to the context
menu. Don't use if you don't want the extra item in the context menu
and you don't know how to remove the registry entries.
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=36948&st=20
The file will be permanently gone when you use it, it won't be in the
Recycle Bin.
You can also try:

or:

or:

or try an old favorite rm.exe unix/posix/sfu utility.
