If you don't need the file, you can delete it. If you do, you need to look through the configuration files (usually ".cfg") by opening them in notepad and removing the line that says something to the effect of "run (file name)" or "execute (file name).N.B. some of these files are nesecary for the program to run, so back up the config file just incase.

How do you remove a winRAR file that is being used?

Stop using it. It is possible that winrar is one of those programs that do not shut down when you click the "X" button, but instead minimize themselves to the system tray. If that is the case, look there and stop the program. If that does not help, then some other program must have a lock on the file, and you'll have to find it or reboot.

Why would an executable file stop working?

If your file is .exe, the program could start working because one or more files were deleted. If your file is a .jar file, for example the minecraft launcher, It could stop working because some code is missing. If you mean like an error message, that means that necessary files or code is missing, or you are using a shortcut to a directory that doesn't even exist. If it's a .jar file and it isn't working, you're basically screwed.
