If it's coming from a floppy you would first remove the clip on it. If it is not a floppy, or if you tried the previous step, then you should try removing the read-only attribute. In DOS, you would use the Attrib command, using -R and the filename as the parameters. In Windows, you go to the properties for that file and make sure it is not flagged as read-only. If it is, change it and select Apply or Ok.
If the disk is not physically write-protected, and if the read-only flag is not set, then the file is likely in use. You can install a tiny file extension called Unlocker to allow you to delete files that are locked by the system because they are being used.
