Rename / Folder in use

Solved

Hello,

I'm posting my problem here, I'm not sure if it could be related to an infection, I have no programs or windows open but I'm unable to rename some of my folders, getting a message that they are open in another program. Unlocker finds nothing at all, and after restarting, I can rename some of them, others can be moved but not renamed, I find it strange.

Thank you for your help if anyone has any idea about the source of the problem.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 59.0

Good evening,

a simple folder on my desktop, in a specific case (but it also happens with others) a backup folder of a game's data, analyzed and nothing to report, it can even crash the explorer which then needs to be restarted.

I moved the folder using Unlocker, I saw that it couldn't do it, so I canceled the move and 10 minutes later it validated it... The problem arises if I try to move it manually, I will check your guide, thank you.

I don't understand, I have, for example, an SSEEdit folder (a tool for Skyrim) on my desktop that is completely unlocked, all of its content can be renamed, however the folder itself cannot be, I can't figure this out

Edit: and none of the software finds anything justifying this
