Windows 10: Changed file type... Now I can't delete said file.

Hello,So here's a weird one that surprised me. I was trying to make a resource pack for Minecraft, but in doing so I downloaded a sound effect file and foolishly changed the sound type from .mp3 to .ogg without doing so with a sound editor like audacity.Now, the file is bugged, as in... I can't move it, and it can't be deleted, I can play the file, but doing anything else with it? Impossible. It will crash in Audacity if i try to export it, it'll crash file explorer if I try to do other stuffIf I try to delete it, either via the del key or right clicking it which will get eternally stuck tryi

May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
perform the task:

• Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
  
• Choose the files to delete
  
• Click on "Clean up system files"
  
• Click on Ok

BAT File That Deletes Files Below Specific Size

I am wondering how to make a bat file that can delete all files below a certain size (in this case 10kb). I have a folder on my server that has game screenshots in it (taken by Punkbuster) and need to sort out the good shots from the bad, and figure this is easier than manually deleting thousands of files.. The "bad" shots (blanks with failed renders) range in size from 4kb-8kb, so the bat file can delete anything lower than 10kb with no issues. Is this possible, and if so how do I make one? Thanks for your help.


*EDIT*
I have found a bat file that can delete specific types/sizes, but it only allows you to delete file sizes of 0kb (empty text documents and such), and replacing the "0" with "10" or any other number hasn't worked for me so far.
