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

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.

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

`68013143 drwx------ 3 username staff 102 Jan 20 14:55 ..`
**Update 2**

Result is as follows:

**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.
