"How is deleting the file going to prevent her from getting iced?"
As I understand it, Rooks is retiring, and wants to be sure that they can't track Lucy Liu, who's been his intermediary to the outside world in the past. So he destroys the file to ensure no-one has the information required to find her, and kills the people outside his organisation who could recognise her (Finster and Whatsisname, the Sunway security guy).
The retiring thing is somewhat subtle: Sullivan talks about wanting to retire to the Whatsit Archipelago, which is presumably where they are at the end on the boat. Since no-one but Lucy Liu has met Rooks, and there's no file left that anyone could use to find Lucy Liu, they're just another couple of rich people on a yacht...
