Sorry to take so long to reply. I got involved on other things and
forgot that I had even asked the question here until someone emailed
me and asked if I had solved it.

And I did try rootkit revealer before I posted the original message.

I had show hidden and system files on. It turns out what I had to do
was turn off "Hide protected operating system files". When I turned
that off it showed up and I could delete it. That probably also
explains why setup couldn't delete it. I'm not sure where this
extraneous version came from. The date on it was just a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the help. Your suggestion put me on the right path.
