Unable to place the item in the trash

Hello, I have a file on my desktop (a .download file, so an incomplete download from Safari) that I cannot delete. It says "Cannot move the item '___' to the Trash because it cannot be deleted."

I tried a method I found online (chmod 775), but the problem persists.

Here's a screenshot just in case: ht tp://www.zimagez.com/zimage/capturedacran2011-08-03164143copie.php

Thank you in advance.

    Force the Finder to relaunch.
    Press the following keys simultaneously: "cmd" + "alt" + "esc",
    then in the window that opens, select "Finder",
    and finally click on the "Relaunch" button.

      It was miraculous!
      This file was stubborn, it wouldn't even open and we couldn't access its information.
      I had never dared to restart the Finder...

      Thank you.
