It's a folder, not a file, probably just used as a placeholder by a running process.

Use something like LockHunter. It's a free tool that will show you what process has a file, folder or drive 'locked' and gives you the opportunity to unlock the process.

Download it, unblock it and install it. You'll end up with a context menu entry invoked by right-clicking on a file, folder or drive.



I've been using it for years and it's proved invaluable, especially for USB sticks that don't want to be ejected 'cos they're in use.

Hope this helps...
