Here's a problem for you Mac gurus:
I have a file on my hard disk that I can't get rid of.  It is a file from 
a game that I copied to the hard disk using, I believe, Copy II Harddisk.
It didn't give me any trouble for a while, and then after a full hard disk
restore I did, the problem started.

If I try to move it to the Trash can, when I Shutdown the system,
I get an alert saying something about the file being
"Open or Busy", or maybe "In Use", I can't remember.  Anyway, when I boot
up again, the file is back where it came from.  I've tried using Copy II
MacTools, but it gives me the same message about being busy when I try to
delete it.

I also get an error about this file everytime I back up the hard disk using
DiskFit.  

Any suggestions on how to get rid of this file?  I don't care to have it
on the hard disk at all.

Thanks in advance.
