Windows 10: What's this folder?

I recently built a new PC, and today I decided to see how much space my Steam games wasted (I have a 250 GB SSD where my OS and some programs are stored and a 1TB HDD where only my Steam library is stored). So I opened the HDD and I saw this weird folder (check the screenshot). I opened it and it was empty. Checking the creation date, this folder was apparently created two days after I built my PC (and the same day that my WiFi card arrived, but that wasn't the first day that I connected it to the Internet. In fact, I had already connected it to the Internet two days earlier, the same day that I built it, through Ethernet). So, is it somehow connected to my WiFI card?

I don't think that it's malware, because I never went on any sketchy website, but who knows.

And if it's OS stuff, it's weird because my OS is stored in my SSD.



Any ideas? Thanks.



btw, english isn't my mother tongue so sorry for any grammar mistakes

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
