I had a user delete a node by accident and now when I attempt to recreate the node I get the message "Path already in use"

This was the flow:

1) I created the node (which the path /fundraising)

2) I pointed a few menu to it.

3) I change the "author" of the node to her - so she could edit it.

4) She hit the delete by accident (I think) At least that's what's she telling me, I wasn't there.

I've searched for the node every way I can think of but I can't find it. So, where is that "path" reference being stored (or used?)

thank you
