Hi all,
So when I tried to reinstall Steam today because I wanted to check out a game I've heard about, the steam folder in program files x86 seemed to not be empty, and the installer told me as much saying it had to be installed to an empty folder. That's OK, I'll just delete it, or so I thought.
It deleted every file accept one.
I am now stuck with a file called aux.srf from one of the YOu Don't Know Jack games, specifically sports, with 0 kb filesize, no last modified date, no last accessed date, and seemingly no way to delete it even with command prompt, unless there's something I'm missing.
When trying windows explorer, it says the following and interestingly enough the info is actually in tact! This is copied from NVDA's review cursor:
Could not find this item
This is no longer located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\
common\YDKJ_SPORTS\Locker\QFOLD17. Verify the item's location and try
again.
You need to confirm this operation.

Type: SRF File

I even tried going into the directory with command prompt running, tried dir /x to see if some sort of shortername or whatever thing has to come up, would appear, but none. Whenever I try the del command, it says:
del aux.srf
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do? When using windows explorer, the entire folder is 0 kb, but when going into the folder and navigating my way to the file, and trying to go to properties, every field is basically empty, like it's tried to delete it and hasn't refreshed the fact or something. It's strange.
