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?

    Hi JW

    Basically i agree with you on hidden files

    BUT

    something in very annoying with this new hidden file as it is considered bu Windows10 as a user counted file !

    ie.

    1. before moving to Windows10  i secured copies of all my files and (ie.)
    • i had 4000 files in  C/User/username/OneDrive

    -  and i had 4000 files on the saved location in the USB key

    1. after Windows10 was installed  i discovered
    • i have  4001 files (one file more) in C/User/username/OneDrive.
    • Why?
    • Then i discovered that this hidden file as considered/counted as a user file (directory properties)  and this is incorrect.
    1. using Windows10
    • if i save a copy of C/User/username/OneDrive (4000 files) the program stops and says : (see at the bottom of the picture below)
    • hidden file is currently in use by MS OneDrive

    and you just need to select "ignore" BUT the count of saved files is now 3099 files !!!!!!

    • this confirms point 2)

    Is it possible to inform Microsoft on this wrong qualification file on this hidden file ?

    Best regards

    I hate to be the one black sheep here, but I have a feeling that file is important as some type of sync file between OneDrive on the PC and online. It may be an indexer or some type of history tracker to ensure that files are synced properly based on where and when it is modified. Unless there is a problem like gil6269 had, in which case you can troubleshoot by deleting the file to refresh it, you really shouldn't mess with files that are hidden that you have no idea what it is... as long as your good and reputable antivirus application doesn't flag it as something bad and you don't have performance issues, who cares?? Just ignore it as it is clearly hidden for a reason.

    If the reported file obtained a file in safe mode, reported in normal mode.And if the reported file is not English language, please reported it with English.
