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.

As I said, I can't find it. 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 the path > is recycler, not recycle. 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.
