Windows 10: "MyLove_files" Folder On Desktop...is it related to a virus?

Hello MS Community,This morning, I randomly discovered a file on my desktop called "MyLove_files". When I looked inside, I saw about a dozen or so images, but dozens and dozens of Java script files. I'm looking to identify this folder and determine whether it's related to a virus. File properties indictated it was created Friday, 12/15/23 at 8:45PM Pacific. My machine is running Win10.My knee jerk response was to immediately recycle and delete it rather than try to quarnatine it and I didn't capture a screen grab of the file contents list sorry.Has anyone else seen this?

Deleted icons stay on desktop (not in desktop folder)

I can only suggest that you
1 Add a list of steps you have already taken.
2 Add a comment about restarting the computer. Do the deleted icons disappear then?
2 Add a comment explaining if any Desktop items do delete correctly and whether or not there are any significant differences between those that do delete correctly and those that don't.
3 Add a list of any OS tweaks you have done & any third-party OS-related utilities you have run.

I assume you have already reinstalled your display driver.
I don't see a Repair install as being relevant. Repair Install - TenForumsTutorials

I understand the inconvenience you are facing with access files and folders.

Do let us know the complete error code/ error message of this issue?

As you have tried with providing the permissions to each folder and issue persists after the restart, try the below and check if it helps.

Step 1: Try to disable the third party anti-virus software if installed any and check.

Step 2: As, as a work around, I suggest you to enable the built-in administrator account and check if this issue persists.

Steps to enable Built-in administrator.

• • Press Windows + X key together on your desktop screen.
  • Click on Command Prompt (admin) to open Command Prompt.
    
  • Type the following command and hit Enter:

　　　4. Now log off from the current user and try to login to the administrator account that is enabled.　　

Note: Please follow the same steps and type net user administrator /active: no to disable admin account after the troubleshooting is done.　

Step 3: I suggest you to refer to the below Microsoft article with 3-diffrent issues related to accessing the files and folders and check if it helps.

A Folder on my desktop that I cannot delete.

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: To find the exact location of the folder that you want to delete I suggest you to follow the below steps and check fi it helps.

• Right click on the “Folder” on the “Desktop” that you want to delete.
• Click on “Properties”.
• Under the “Target” tab you will find the path of the folder, go to that particular path and try to delete the folder.

Method 2: If still the issue persists, then If you are using third party anti-virus, then I suggest you to temporarily disable it and check whether the issue persists or not.

Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should
re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Hope this information is helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
