Hold the "Windows" key and press "E" to open Windows Explorer.
Click "Tools" in the top menu bar, and select "Folder Options". If you can not see the top menu bar, press the "Alt" key.
Click the "View" tab in the "Folder Options" window.
Check "Show hidden files, folders and drives" under "Hidden files and folders" in the group "Advanced Settings" and click "OK". Now you can see hidden files.
Navigate to the hidden zip file in Windows Explorer, and click to select it. The icon will fade, but will be visible.
Hold the "Select" and press "Delete" key to delete the file, bypassing the Recycle Bin. Simply press the "Delete" button to send to the Recycle Bin. Click "Yes" in the confirmation window.
