How can i erase this file (sen it to trash?).

Are you joking?
For a single file? As root? What if he mistypes and erases his whole disk?
The OP suggested that the file is mysteriously locked somehow. What would you suggest to do about it without being in superuser mode (and without rebooting, of course)?
\Steve
How about sudo rm
and be done with it. and NO a reboot is -not- necessary.
As can be read in the OP Juan already tried to do so and found that it is "locked" (whatever it means). Hmm, what now? \Steve
