You need to uncheck "Hide Operating System Files".

Boot into "Safe Mode" and delete it.

Try this...
1.
Right-click the Recycle Bin, and then click Properties.

2.
In the Recycle Bin Properties dialog box, clear the Display delete confirmation dialog check box, and then click OK.


If you don't want to use the Recycle Bin at all, in the Recycle Bin Properties dialog box, select the Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted check box.
