I have an issue with my Linkstation Quad NAS in that I cannot delete a large file - "You require permission from unix user\root to make changes to this file" comes up each time I try. (Windows 7)

 

I suspect it is an orphan file from a failed attempt to auto-copy from a USB HD. It is fouling up my network in that if I ever accidentally select it on my media player (even when scrolling) it causes my media player to hang. Is there a way I can successfully delete this file for good?
