Windows Cannot find this item and can't delete or move it

[andy an]

Dear Microsoft


I am on windows 10


I tried to delete a file on my machine called

upport enabled.


I tried to follow this here:

Can't delete file, 'could not find this file' please help


I am not sure what the file is for but it appeared in one of my VS project folders.

my PC does not know where it is and cannot delete it.

It says:

Could not find this item

This is no longer located in D:\.... so and so verify the items location and try again.


So I tried to find it's short name via the command promt and delete it in the command prompt

but it gave me the same name:

upport enabled.

Then I tried to delete it via the command promt from the advanced options screen.

I was in the X: drive

I typed

DEL /F /S /Q /A D:\undergoing\computer science\cs50\practice set 1>del "upport enabled."

and my computer cannot find the file either.


Please help!

Thank you very much
