If you're trying to delete a file and upon pressing F5 (i.e. refresh view), it keeps re-appearing, restart your PC (and yes sometimes an entire file server needs to be restarted if that is where the file is stored), and see if the file is then gone, or can successfully be deleted.
This is a bit extreme in some cases, but in others, it is the only thing that works.
Other options you can try range from using Process Explorer to find which process is locking the file, and stopping that process, to throwing your entire computer away in frustration.
The last option is effective, but has a number of side-effects.
