Error Copying/Deleting File

When I try to copy/delete a file, the following message pops up:

Cannot copy/delete <filename>: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

The file is only a normal xml file.  I tried using software such as BCWipe to delete the file but i failed to delete it. It's very annoying. :( I would appreciate it if anyone could help me on this.

It works!
I managed to delete it using command prompt!
