Undeletable item on Desktop

[claessek]

A while ago I noticed an entry (listed as text file) on my Desktop.
It looks like this:

When looking at the properties:

I can't change the permissions and it doesn't show up in the 'ls' of the Desktop folder in a terminal.
Trying to delete it:

How can I get rid of this?

Thanks

Hello.
Try to delete this file using sudo rm filename. It looks like permissions problem. Check it with ls -l.

Thanks for the reply.
The issue is that it doesn't show up in ls.
There is an entry but no "physical" file (I guess)

If the file appears in your Desktop directory, it should also be there in the terminal.
What is the result of running the following command in a terminal?:

sudo find / -type f -name "7FNZtc" 2> /dev/null

The above command uses find to try to find the file anywhere on the system. Any error messages are redirected to /dev/null, effectively hiding the error.

That should hopefully find the file.

It look's as if the files position is locked. Clicking the unlock button should do the trick.

Output of the command returns no result.
Clicking on the lock does nothing.

P.S. I won't be able to follow up for a while from now on due to a holiday trip.
I will catch up when I return.
Thanks for your feedback ...
