do you have a disk image? I keep one on hand of my C drive in case something goes wrong that I can't solve.

btw, what does it say when you check properties? did you try refresh in case the name is still in memory? that happens sometimes.

Can you boot up from a Linux distro and try deleting it from this?

I have two suspicions:
1) A Permission issue
2) The Windows explorer file length limit.

In the past, I have deleted things via Linux which I couldn't through explorer.
