Well first of all, I'm hoping that you abbreviated the path, because it
should be more like
"C:\Recycler\S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyyy-zzzzzzzzzz-uuuu\" where uuuu is
either 500 for administrator or 1001 or higher for regular user.  This is
the Recycle Bin, but you would have to empty the recycle bin from the user
account that the file was deleted from.  Maybe the file was deleted from the
Administrator account, which you would need to log into the Administrator
account in order to empty it from the Recycle Bin.  If that fails, then you
should be able to delete it using HijackThis.  I hope you have some kind of
Boot DVD with recovery utilities on it handy (like Hiren's).  Sometimes
getting rid of a virus makes your PC unbootable (especially the hard to
remove viruses). 

If you still can't delete it, then I would suspect an active virus is to
blame (probably a rootkit).
