Chosen solution

Did you try to select that file in the Download Manager and press Delete or use the right-click context menu ?

If you downloaded the file then you should remove it from its download location.
If there is a history entry then you can use "Forget About This Site" via the right-click context menu in the sidebar or history manager (Library).
