Not sure but could this be a hidden file? If you go to Control Panel/Tools/Folder Options/View then under Hidden Files and Folders change it to Show Hidden Files and Folders and then check the recycle bin to see if your file is there. I recommend that you reset the View back to Do Not Show Hidden Files and Folders when you are finished.
