Undeletable rar file


Recommended Posts

Haven't had to visit these forums in years thankfully, however recently i installed a questionable file- it's made by a creator that ive downloaded things from before with no problems however this one has me worried.

I can't open this file, delete this file, or move this file, it's only visible in quick access.

Malwarebytes and Windows Defender have found nothing.

I'm guessing that this is a recent file entry only.

Let me suggest the following and see if that helps

Click on Start / Search and type in CMD.EXE and when it shows on the menu right-click and select "Run as administrator" then copy / paste the following into the window and press the Enter key, or type it in.

ECHO Y|CHKDSK C: /F 

Then restart the computer and let the disk check run. Don't touch any keys during start up.

Then check and if the file entry is still there then there should be a right-click option to unpin it or remove it.
