Try this and see if you can take ownership of the files...

I used the right click program to take ownership. Still cannot do anything with the file except read. If I save it with another name then it is again viable, However the original file I cannot delete, edit, move, etc. I'm just stuck with it.

Check the permissions, sounds like there is a permission for Everyone that is set to deny, remove it if that is the case, then you can delete it.

start -> type  cmd --> right click and open as Admin --> then move to the location of your file --> change attrib there...  then delete....
when you have that problem.... easy way is to ADMIN from highest possible position... CMD (as Admin) you can do anything there. and easy to do if you know any DOS.
if not simply ask when there  with(sample) : rename  /?  or delete /? or move /?
