I guess that's a good thing that at least it wasn't an important windows file. 
It's really hard to remember all your window files. You may know some, but you 
don't always know which ones are good or not out of all of them.

into a couple of years ago where I work. The hoax warns about a virus that 
can't be detected by anti-virus software and that you should search your hard 
drive for a file named Jdbgmgr.exe that has a teddy bear icon. The hoax warns 
that the file is a virus and should be deleted. The file is actually the 
Microsoft Debugger Registrar for Java. While deleting it won't cause any 
problems unless you are a Java developer the hoax caused unnecessary worrying 
since the file the hoax says is a virus will appear on Windows PCs.
