Folder and files within keep reappearing after deletion

[Frowsy]

Hello,

I downloaded a language patch for a video game a little while ago, they are .sb files and only had me copy and paste them to my game directory. They worked in changing my game language to english however after uninstalling the game the .sb files that I orginally downloaded before copying and pasting keep reappearing. The folder does delete, and I can empty my recycle bin no problem, however a little while after restarting my computer the folder and files within reappear. I've tried only deleting the .sb files or the folders within the main folder as well, but they always reappear a little while after a restart. Around the same time I downloaded this patch a few months ago I noticed a virus had infected my computer and I successfully got rid of it after I got assisstance on this forum. Im not entirely sure if the virus and these files are correlated or not. And I havent noticed any suspicious behavior on my computer like random high CPU usage or functions not working. But I would like to know if there was a way to get rid of these files. Im uncertain if they are being redownloaded once I restart my computer, or if its just that they are not being deleted successfully. 

I've attached the logs from Farbar, I'm not sure what everything means but they might help.

Thanks,

Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop or location where you ran FRST from.
NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST or FRST64, and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Run FRST or FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If the tool needs a restart please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.

NOTE-1:  This fix will run a scan to check that all Microsoft operating system files are valid and not corrupt and attempt to correct any invalid files. It will also run a disk check on the restart to ensure disk integrity. Depending on the speed of your computer this fix may take 30 minutes or more.

Hello,

I ran the fix and it seemed to repair my C drive. I guess there was an issue with it that I never noticed. However the file that I can't seem to delete is saved on my D drive I should mention. 

I've attached the fixlog.

Thanks

Please open an elevated Admin command prompt and type in the following.

CHKDSK  D:  /F

Then press the Enter key. It will ask if it can take the drive offline more than likely. Say yes and let it run the scan.

Then see if you can delete the file or not.

If you cannot delete the file then please give me the exact path and file names you want to delete

The folder seems to have been removed successfully, its been a few days without it reappearing.

Thank you
