I’ve seen this issue reported several times and I do not have the item to test out my ideas. However, I will give some ideas to you to try out if you would like to test them to get it to delete.
Apparently the item isn’t named properly and there is a character at the end of the name that causes a line return (notice the period is on the next line). Also, if you link it to chat you can see that the closing bracket gets sent to the next line in chat. [&AgEHuwAA]
Idea 1
Add a [s] to the end of the name.
Limited-Use Vigil Megalaser Finisher[s]
This seems to be the actual name of the item, but the [s] gets converted into a new line/return character when you link it as well as when it is displayed in the deletion confirmation box.
Why delete it? Just use it then never use the finisher if you don’t want to.
Also, Arrow, if you have the permanent vigil megalaser finisher then you cannot activate the limited-use one to get rid of it. And since it couldn’t be delete due to this naming issue then players are stuck with it permanently taking up an inventory slot.

Considered that but it didn’t seem likely or logical. Wouldn’t you use the limited use finisher to find out whether you wanted it before buying it? The limited use finishers stack so if you have multiples there is no reason not to use them all when you get them. I suppose it is possible someone saw someone else using it and decided they had to have it . . .

Interesting.
@OP
Do you have more than one of this finisher in a stack? If so then you may need to write the exact number in the stack, which is not being displayed properly in the item’s name.
Call this Idea 2:
If you can see that there are like 4 in the stack by looking in the corner of the item’s icon, then write the name like:
Limited-Use Vigil Megalaser Finisher 4
or
Limited-Use Vigil Megalaser Finisher [4]
or
Limited-Use Vigil Megalaser Finisher[4]
(without the space between the word ’finisher’ and the bracketed number)
Or, if only one of the finisher and not a stack, also try:
Limited-Use Vigil Megalaser Finisher 1
I have one of these finishers. I cannot consume it because I have the permanent one. I tried replaced the ‘-’ with a space. Putting the number 1 after it does nothing. I received the Limited Finisher as a drop after I purchased the finisher. Adding [s] afterwards also did not work.

If you have an empty character slot you can probably create a new character, put the item in their inventory, then delete the character -_-
That’s a great idea! I like the way you think. You bypass the issue completely. I’ve been stuck on trying to figure out how to delete it via typing its name, not of methods of how to just get rid of it.
I know I frequently delete a new character without issue that has the Hall of Monuments Portal Stone in their inventory which needs its name typed in to delete it.
This is sure to be the only way of deleting it without further testing with the name of the item.
Deleting the character has been the only solution, the issue of this item has to do with the long space between the word “Finisher” and the full stop “.”
In other words, in order to delete the item, you have to type the exact name of the item and since we are limited to one line, we cannot duplicate the name.
