Right click then "cut" then move to desktop and paste and now you can delete it.

There's two possibilities :
1) The good one, there's a problem with the right of the file. Windows have a really awkward way to deal with them and sometime when you decompress an archive, the files end with no owner. But normally it's all the files that are affected, not only the executables.
2) If you restart your computer and the files can't still be delete, it mean that something have restarted them... and 99,9999999% of the time, this "something" is a virus.

If you are using a 3rd party antivirus you may have to reinstall it (use a utility to remove it if they have one)

This sounds fishy. As anne O.nymous already suggested, that could be a virus. Especially if the same thing happens all the time. That can not be a simple case of file system corruption, that would affect only one file.
Better try some bootable antivirus scanners. I'd go with
They're all free tools. Bootable tools will prevent the virus from running and hiding itself from runtime AV-s.

You resuscitated a thread from more than four years of death to ask a question instead of just clicking on the REPORT button found at the bottom of every post on this site ... including the first post of every game thread? That is how you can report any post, including the game's OP.

Yeah , sorry i didn't notice that tiny little thing on game thread i read that report option so many times before on thread quotes or comments but that time i was angry about how fucked up some devs and literally playing with us. Tried some fucked up game ,and thought it would be better if anyone knows what kind of sick fanatsy or not cuz i dunno if someone enjoying actually those type of content and that sickness started after 2 nd update ( tag , dev notes shows something and you found out something else after gameplay ) so i searched and found this thread Ok thanks anyway bro
