I see that several others have a file with exactly the same name in One Drive.  Surely this is no coincidence.  Since it's a hidden file, how many other have it and don't even know it?    

So, what is the story?  What's the file?

It's more interesting if you look at previous versions under properties. 

Love to see some ideas, guesses, suggestions etc.  

Do you have the hidden file ".849C9593-D756-4E56-8D6E-42412F2A707B" in your One Drive too?

    I think we agree - delete the offender, follow the steps you described and it stops causing problems.  I was curious so I kept digging in to it.  I am beyond the curiosity now.  I am happy now that the problems have stopped.
