I had a similar issue just a few minutes ago. No active downloads, but
the .crdownload file was on my desktop, and I was unable to remove it.
When viewed the desktop in a Finder window, the file wasn't there. So I
relaunched Finder (cmd + alt + esc will open a window to let you relaunch
Finder).
Fixed the problem for me, hope it works for you.
