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?

I have it too. Problem in my case is that it ties up the computer as it tries to sync this file with OneDrive. Never really syncs. My conputer has been very stable until just recently. There is another problem which (coincidentally?) has occured. Chrome now fails on my system due to the "move to Tiles" they have implemented.
There is not much on the net regarding this problem.
I'm still having trouble getting rid of file ".849C9593-D756-4E56-8D6E-42412F2A707B". If I close the onedrive application, I can no longer find the file. It doesn't show up in the One Drive folder. It doesn't show up on the One Drive website. I search for it and it can't be found. But as soon as I start the One Drive application again, the file reappears. I can see it from both of my computers running One Drive. If I try to delete the file, it won't let me because the file is being used by OneDrive. If I leave the delete file dialog open, close OneDrive, and then click on 'try again', it still won't delete the file because it can't find the file.
Only one of the computers seems to have problems syncing, including the problem that it's always trying to download another file (presumably .849C9593-D756-4E56-8D6E-42412F2A707B) without actually downloading anything. The problem computer often says that files are not synced, but when I open them up, they're up to date on both computers.
The other computer says that it's up to date, but it won't let me delete the 0kb .849C9593-D756-4E56-8D6E-42412F2A707B file, either. How do I fix this?!
Another one of the "Mysteries of Microsoft". One Drive is popping up on my other old networked machines now. I think I will just hide the file again. It was hidden for some reason(?).
Right mouse on Task bar at bottom of Desktop.
Account.
Unlink One Drive button.

Noel,
as I said, the file was in an endless sync with the One Drive cloud server so I could not ignor it. Solved it by the tried and proven method. Delete the offender.
Up dated system image, just in case.
Turned off One Drive on my computer.
Logged into MS Onedrive on the cloud.
Deleted the file on both the cloud and my personal computer.
Rebooted.
The file came back but my sync problem was gone. All is well. No idea what happened to cause this.
