Force Delete of a file.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have a 3rd party software that creating file that is not needed and this
file is causing problems. I've asked the vendor and they said all I have to
do is delete this file. When ever I try to delete the file, I get the error
message of "Cannot delete (filename): It's being used by another person or
program. Close all programs...blah blah." It's the standard message. I
have to reboot the server and then I can delete it. The vendor said I can
force delete and then I wouldn't have to reboot the server.

Is there a way to force delete of this file in the command prompt? If so,
I can then create a simple batch that will run every hour to delete it.

Thanks!
