My AV software (CA's EZ-Trust) tells me I have -
c:\recycler\S-1-5-21-129_...and_a_huge_string_of_numbers...\Dc775.zip<ref
7119606.exe>
The software doen't delete it, although that is the setting, and I
can't find the file.

Can someone help me get rid of this, please?

It's not in the Recycle Bin. As I said, I can't find it. And the path
is recycler, not recycle.

You can't see the folder and files under <d:>\Recycler because Explorer
handles "special" folders differently (usually by hiding them although
sometimes the view is altered). You'll need to use a DOS shell with cd
and dir commands with the appropriate command-line switches (like "dir
/ad" to see directories and "dir /ah" to see hidden files). The "Empty
Recycle Bin" property when you right-click on the Recycle Bin desktop
icon may not completely empty the <d:>\Recycler folder(s). In your
case, probably the easiest way to empty the Recycle Bin is to use
CCleaner (aka CrapCleaner). It adds a context menu item for it so you
can easy run it (besides the Start menu group that gets added).

And so what? The *path* is <d:>\Recycler. The *name* is Recycle Bin.

Ho-kayyy - emptying the Recycle bin took care of biznizz, thanx (why
do they call it recycleR?) but I'm still aggrieved the AV didn't
delete it.
