I would run chkdsk first. Then search again. There may be references in the
MSFT ("descriptors" as the chkdsk report notes) that need cleaning up. If
references to the file are still found in the next search then try using
Disk Cleanup to delete all but the last restore point.
Also, if using Norton/Symantec products, be sure to double check on that
Protected Bin thing. Protected Bin has been known to install "by default."
Often the user isn't even aware that it is there until something like this
comes up.
