Can't delete file named '...'

For some background, I'm on Windows 10 however with the files I'm going to talk about I've used them in shared folders with Ubuntu VMs before.

In a folder on my machine, there is a file named '...' I really don't know where this file came from. It was inside a directory which contained one of my programming projects, in which I was using git. However, I cannot delete this file in any means I've tried so far. When attempting a simple right-click + delete, I get the message: "Error 0x80070091 The directory is not empty."

When I attempt to delete from powershell using del or rm, I get the message: "When attempting to del : An object at the specified path C:\Users\mdmil\Concurrency\... does not exist."

I cannot rename the file by any means. When I try to rename from powershell, I get the same aforementioned error. When I try to rename from file explorer, I get a "this file is open in another program" error.

I even got desparate enough to try to share the folder with a Linux VM, and attempt to delete the file via the inode number to no avail.

When I attempt to open the file in notepad++, no file opens. I presume it is because it is trying to interpret it as a directory due to the ... naming.

I'm currently at a loss as to how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated!

If you go to the directory where the ... file is, then type:

type dir /x

you should see the file and its 8.3 name, eg:-

 Directory of C:\Users\CurrentUser\Temp

09/12/2018  23:09    <DIR>                       .
09/12/2018  23:09    <DIR>                       ..
09/12/2018  23:09                 0 A535~1       ...

You can now use this 8.3 name to delete it, eg:

del A535~1
