Do not PM for support in the future. Just delete it?
I have tried to delete But I got following message

Unable to transfer.
This is most likely due to insufficient permissions. Verify both the destination path and permissions, then try again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator or hosting provider.
Please don't PM me Smile

Do you have ssh access? It seems you don't own the file.
Can you explain about ssh access !!
I also talked with my hosting service providers
but they have not solution,
Get another host if you can't delete your files.
Also, don't PM people for support.
SSH is root level acccess to the server, accessed through a program like Putty. It allows you to do things that cannot be done in cPanle, Plesk or other control panels.

If you cannot delete the file, ask your hosting company to do it. I guarantee that they have access to do so, and if they don't either, then they are not a real hosting company.
