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

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

virus 5

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

Update 3

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

virus 7

Update 4

Below is the result from utility disk verification:

virus 8

virus 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.
