Use the Terminal, There are two ways

1. File is in the Trash

Open the Terminal and type :

cd~
sudo rm -rf .Trash

You will be prompted for your Password.
Enter Password and then then hit Return
Click on Trash Icon in Dock
Select "Empty Trash" to change back the icon back in the Dock

2. File on Desktop

Open the Terminal. Type :

sudo rm -i

Then drag the file into the Terminal Window. The line should look like:

sudo rm -i ~/Desktop/File Name

hit Return
