Error accessing file - what to do?

    I'm on windows seven.

    In the last number of weeks I keep getting messages saying that there is a disk error. I went and looked at the event and figured out the problem is with a certain file, here's what it says
    Event 1005 Application Error

    Windows cannot access the file C:\Windows\Prefetch\AgGlUAD_P_S-1-5-21-2732584009-4017119353-65918852-1000.db for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Host Process for Windows Services because of this error.
    When I go to defrag my harddrive it gets stuck on this file.

    This seems to happen a lot when I am watching videos with VLC player and Acestream (could just be coincidence) The video stops for a bit and the theme randomly changes to basic for a little before changing back.

    My last laptop had a couple of failed harddrives and this one has shown none of the signs they had in terms of slowdown accessing files or whatever... there's no "hanging".

    What should I do? Am I right in saying that as it is a prefetch file I can just delete it?
