Windows 10: This is no longer located in C:\ Verify the item's location and try again.

I recently used a software to get back some files which I accidentally deleted in the recycle bin. So, after getting back the files I need, noticed this file located in the C: I tried to rename, move, delete but it displays this error. I use Windows 10 Home.

Item not found, item no longer located in desktop

Hi

I was working on a Sibelius file last night and saved it to the desktop. This morning when I tried opening it, I kept getting met with the error "Item not found, item no longer located in C:users\***\Desktop. Verify the item's location and try again." If
I look in Sibelius recent files it is not there. If I try to open it from file explorer it says that windows is trying to locate the file. To locate yourself, click browse. Yet it is not present when I click browse. Does anyone know how to fix this? I was
working on this for hours and I would really hate to start again

Edit: I am wondering if the problem may have been caused because my version of Sibelius (Sibelius ultimate) was not activated at the time? This morning when I opened it, it said it was activated, and I did nothing different

 

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!
