Unable to move, edit, or delete a file (Error Code -43)

Long time Mac user, first time poster.


Downloaded this album earlier (http://auralsects.bandcamp.com/album/s-j-r-n) don't reccomend downloading unless you want to run into the same problem I'm having.


When I attempted to unzip it I was greeted with a window stating "The application can't be found."

Attempting to move or edit the file yields the infamous Error code -43, item cannot be found.


More or less all I want to do at this point is delete the .zip, however right-clicking and moving to trash, dragging to trash, command deleting, and using the terminal to move to trash will not work, all result in the same Error code -43.


I think the problem has to do with having the 'glitch text' in the file name, but again, I can't change the file name without getting an error code.


Any help is appreciated.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
