Windows 10: Hello! Ghost of a folder and file keep coming back in OneDrive

I have Win10 pc been up to win 11 for months. No issues. I have Google Drive and for the moment have a full OneDrive folder on the GDrive. No seeming issues there. I plan to move it off. There is also a folder named OneDriveTemp with a file in it, likely a zipped file, in Google Drive. They do not show up online in OneDrive. And I can and have deleted them in Safe Mode. When returning to normal they seem to be gone? Then in a few they are back. I've tried taking Ownership and that doesn't work. Have you any suggestions I be appreciative. I've deleted them about everywhere they can be. Back the

ghost file on desktop

Hello Bruce,

Thank you for your continued patience on this issue. I would like to assist you further.

If you are unable to remove the file using Explorer, I suggest you to try delete the file using the command prompt. Follow the below steps.

• Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.

• Now browse to the folder where the file is located. You can go to the root of the drive by typing in cd /, followed by
  cd foldername to navigate into directories. Once you are there, type in
  dir to get a listing of all the files.

• To delete a fie type del “filename”

Hope it helps this time.

Thank you.

 

onedrive duplicating my folders...

Hi.

Again, onedrive is going crazy and is duplicating my main folder, full of subfolders. It's locking me out of all my files. I have windows 10, Office 365 home. I paused synch at the moment before I have 1000 copy of my folder, which I can't open anyway!
Please don't ask me any question that will further delay the repair. Simply give me a step by step solution and then improve onedrive so this won't happen again to so many of us. I suggest you also add "onedrive" in the list of "Windows Topics" below since
thousands of users have issues with it.

Thanks

Michel
