Undeletable file with no path.

Question

This file titled "Google Drive" is undeletable and not within a drive. It has no path that I can access from cmd admin. I would like to delete this "file" or "user profile". If anyone would be willing to explain to me how to do this then I would appreciate it. I did look this up on google and found a grand total of 2 pages of results.
