can't delete file

[A maid]

Here's a problem I can't solve. Tried almost everything I could find but nothing worked...   stupid shit always happens to me.

So anyway, I made a zip and I randomly got a file of 0 bytes with the same name. And it's not even a real 'file', no zip no rar no folder no exe just nothing.

I can't move it to a different folder or the recycle bin, I can't rename it but the real problem is that I can't delete it.

Heeeeelp!!

Pretty ironic topic name considering that's all you need.

Unlocker won't start and I told you I tried everything I could find.

e: finally found the source of my problem and fixed it. sorry for making topics and suddenly getting the solution after, it's weird coincidence, I swear.

anyway locked.

THE FILE CAME BACK AFTER REBOOTING AND THE SOURCE FOLDER WAS DELETED YESTERDAY WTF SHOULD I DO SHIT D:

Try deleting the file in safe mode. Also it seems that the file is needed for the zip file for some reason. Either try packing your files again or check your folder settings. Hidden elements may be forced to show up.

This is weird. I tried changing the folder options and had the hidden stuff show up (nothing on the desktop changed though).

I tried deleting the file and it did, then tried deleting the folder next to it and I couldn't do it. Checked the recycle bin and it had a folder instead of a 'file'.

I put it back to the desktop and then redeleted it and then I could delete the other one (wtf?). For now I won't empty it yet or close the topic incase something might
fuck up again.

Ctrl + E where the file is located?

[A maid]

Ctrl + E does nothing, atleast for me.

e: when I empty the trash can the file comes back. Would emptying it in safe mode do the trick?

I also have one of those files... what's the big fucking deal? It doesn't do any harm, don't let it bother you

[A maid]

What if I need to clean up my desktop?
What if I need more space? 0 bytes is so much
It annoys me having an unusable file I can't move to anywhere
