File Not found in Windows 8

[Car4David]

Hello,
I am currently using Windows 8 release preview and been making a lot of changes. I made a folder in my desktop and later decided that it was useless. When I try to delete it, it says "could not find this item" and no matter how many times I try it, it doesn't delete. Refreshing doesn't help either. When I add a folder to it, it makes a new folder on my desktop with nothing inside it with the same name for some reason. I can delete it but it's weird.

I had this problem recently with adobe premiere CC. It didn't get rid of the ._00_ file and nothing I was trying would work, what I did was try to archive it with winrar and winrar gave an error and removed the file for me. Hope this helps!
