When I cd ~/.Trash in the terminal, it shows that there is a folder Downloads, and inside the Downloads folder, another folder Reactions, and inside Reactions, there is a file called

virus

Shutting down or restarting the computer does not work to empty the trash. Also, I should say that the file is hidden and is not showing when I open the Trash folder. Is it a virus? If yes, how do I get rid of it?

virus 2


In terminal, using: cd ~/.Trash/Downloads/Reactions and then ls -al, shows the jpg file.

(shown in the screenshot of the file because I could not copy and paste the text here in this question)

virus 3

drwxrwxrwx 3 username staff 102 Jan 19 14:36 .

drwxr-xr-x 3 username staff 102 Jan 19 16:09 ..

**Update 1**

I moved the `Reactions` out of the `Downloads` and emptied the trash. Now there is only `Reactions` left with the `.jpg` inside.

![virus 4][4]

By running `ls -aBeil ~/.Trash/Reactions` in terminal, following is the result:

![virus 5][5]

`36328284 drwxrwxrwx 3 username staff 102 Jan 19 14:36 .`

`68013143 drwx------ 3 username staff 102 Jan 20 14:55 ..`

**Update 2**

From `cd ~/.Trash/Reactions` > `rm 'P` > enter spacetab'return

Result is as follows:

![virus 6][6]

**Update 3**

Below is the result from `unset LANG ; ls -aBeil ~/.Trash/Reactions`:

![virus 7][7]

**Update 4**

Below is the result from utility discdisk verification:

![virus 8][8]

![virus 9][9]

**Update 5**

I just repaired the disk through `Disk Utility` using command + R access after system restart. Then, `.jpg` file is not hidden anymore and can be emptied on trash. Below you can see the screenshots.
