Windows 10: "Could not find this item. This is no longer located in C:\Users\...." running Windows10

Hello,I have the same problem as other users on this see link below.My problem file shows as sized 61k in explorer, but then 0bytes when I check its properties.It can neither be moved, nor copied, nor renamed.My guess is that the problem is related to the very long filename of the file which is situated in subfolders located on my desktop.Regrettably, the solutions proposed here below did not work for me:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/could-not-find-this-item-in-win10/8dd88bf4-86d4-450f-bfed-7d5a97843087Any further suggestions would be much appreciated.I'm running Win1

Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

No tried that.

Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

any more suggestions

 

If I try to delete the Ghost folder I get the message "Could not find this file This is no longer located in C:\Users\(My name)\Downloads. Verify the item's location and try again."

Original title: Ghost Folder(s) in Download Directory

Over the last couple of weeks, after doing some downloads, I have moved the contents of the folder created in "Download" to another directory. In several cases it has left behind a "Ghost Folder". If I try to delete the folder I get the message "Could not
find this file. This is no longer located in C:\Users\(My name)\Downloads. Verify the item's location and try again." Restarts, restores, etc do not clear the problem.

If I use cmd with admin permissions to bring up the directory, the file is listed as being there but using "rmdir" to delete it also dumps an error stating the folder is not in that location. I preformed an error check on my C drive and no errors were found.

I know have 3 of these folders and it is getting annoying!
