I was making an edit to a picture in paint, to show something to someone.

I made the edits, chose to save the picture, and saved it as "Untitled" without the ""'s to my desktop.

A message box popped up saying that Paint encountered a problem while saving.

I thought nothing of it, and resaved as "Untitled2".

I then went to delete the file from my desktop:

But when I attempted to delete it I got an error box:

I have restarted, and I have attempted to hide it, change properties, but according to my computer it doesn't exist.

Is there any way I can delete this file, or remove the icon if it is just some kind of echo, or misprint?

EDIT:

I tried saving over the top of it and it seems to have done the trick... the icon isn't there anyway.

Sorry, that was a rather pointless topic...

Though out of interest, anyone know why Paint might have encountered a problem saving? It doesn't make much sense... it never has before, and if it was something else doing something on the desktop which led to a corrupted unsaved file, I would've expected paint to have waited until it could save

Very odd. Sometimes, I when I try to delete a file, its says it doesn't exist, but a reboot always has fixed the problem for me..

I didn't understand - have you fixed it, or is the icon still there?
(I guess you solved it, but the text is hard to understand )

Yes, my problem is solved. The icon dissapeared, and was replaced with a preview of what I saved as untitled.

I don't know why the reboot didn't fix it either, it's usually the first thing I do and it fixes most problems.

But yes, problem solved! ^^

Ah, good
