[Non-FGunZ] I need help removing this.

[Mousse]

Guys I need help removing installer.exe.




When I attempt to delete it, a pop-up is showing that I couldn't delete it because the file doesn't even exist.
Tried moving it elsewhere, tried dragging it directly to the Recycle Bin, still failed



I even tried opening properties to set its attributes to "Hidden" but it also won't work.




Are there any other options? It's annoying to see a useless file in my document library.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried searching for this file anywhere else on your PC?

Yes. But I don't see it. It's only in "My Documents".
I tried searching for the file's original contents and I have no idea where.

Tried CCleaner?

Have you checked your programs list in the control panel? Maybe you can uninstall the file from there.

Two things..

This can be known as a 'ghost' file where an ghost file is left by a deleted file. It usually gets removed after a reboot.

If after the reboot the file isn't gone, it's not a ghost file. You can use something like IOBit's Unlocker to remove it.

Use CCleaners Registry Cleaner <- to scan for unused shortcuts and or try to uninstall with Revo Uninstaller <- Most powerful uninstaller.
