A zero byte file on desktop with icon. Unable to rename, delete, move, send to anywhere. Says, "file does not exist on desktop" and unable to locate the file on disk.
This Icon MUST be somewhere in the system relating to desktop. The file in question did not have a suffix and I am unable to add one.
HELP PLEASE.hope to remove icon))))

Run a chkdsk on the drive.

Once this is done, try to delete the icon if it is still there.

Used unlocker to completely remove desktop folder, rebuilt it from scratch.. Thanks it took about an hour but that icon is gone. THanks Bob
