A deleted file is easily retrievable until it is overwritten with other data. Disk Investigator (http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/dskinv.html) would be able to show you the name of the file - even if you've deleted it and emptied the recycle bin - and recover it until it has been overwritten.
To overwrite the file (and all other deleted files which may be retrievable), download Eraser from http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/download.php. Install it and open 'my computer'. Right-click on the drive which had the file on it, and select 'erase unused space'. Click 'options', select 'pseudorandom data', click 'ok', and click 'yes'. It will proceed to overwrite the unused space on the drive, including the movie. No, this won't erase any files which haven't been deleted.
Eraser can be used to overwrite files that haven't been deleted, which saves you from having to overwrite all unused space every time you want to get rid of something. To do this, right click on the file or folder and select 'erase'. It's good practice to use it on any file you don't want people to see.
