It's probably got the hidden or system attributes set.  If you still have
Windows installed, you might be able to get rid of it by right-clicking on the
Recycle Bin and clicking Properties, selecting "Configure drives
independently" then tick the "Do not move files to the Recycle
Bin" box on the
tab corresponding to the partition in question.
