Windows 10: A pdf file I created myself won't delete or move or anything

I have tried the preview pane, shift-delete, restarting, using the command prompt.When I use the command prompt, it tells me that the system cannot find the file specified.I can still open the file and send it and stuff, I just can't delete or move it.It isn't giving me any other errors whatsoever.Please help. I am using Windows 11.
