LXQt 64-bit ISO
Each time I boot I delete the file from /home/guest/ with pcmanfm, and each time I reboot the file is back. I looked in the Trash folder and pressing the Del button brings up the option to "Move to Trash" but since the file, and all it's copies, are already in Trash, nothing happens.
Selecting the pcmanfm Tool Open as Root doesn't help either.

looks like you are not saving changes or you have something in /rootcopy with /home/guest path.
if you want to get rid of /home/guest permanently then unsquash core modules are remove it from there.

Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Ah crap!! The trash is empty except for the problem file. And the problem is It has SPACES in it's name.
Been there, done that before. <sigh>
