Can't delete smart folder

Simple question: How do I get rid of a smart folder? I created one which I no longer need but it keeps coming back to the finder every time I trash it. I move it to the trash, empty the trash, and when I re-open the finder, there it is again.

Where in the Finder are you accessing this Smart Mailbox?

I've deleted a Smart Mailbox via the following without any problems.

Select the Smart Mailbox in the mailboxes drawer and at the menu bar go to Mailbox and select Delete.

Selecting Delete at the warning message provided should delete the mailbox at that time - it won't be moved to Mail's Trash or to the Finder's Trash first.
