Thanks again Sampson,
I will not have to check this because my problem is gone. I finally deleted the file.
To achieve this, I performed a "chkdsk D: /x /f /r" and then delete the file manually under the command prompt.
Curiously, chkdsk does not do the same thing as running a complete scan from the "Disk Properties/Tools" dialog box...
Thank you again for your help Sampson.
