windows - Strange Undeletable Folder

Not sure if I have malware or not, but I discovered this folder as I was working on my website:
enter image description here



Seems pretty normal, right? Well, when I tried to delete it, it was apparently symlinked to the actual "sergix.net" folder in the same directory. Ok, whatever, I'll just delete the symlink. But then it gave a message as if it was deleting the symlinked folder; strange. I backed up the real folder and deleted it from the directory. However, now when I try and delete whatever this crap is, it just says how the "sergix.net" I moved doesn't exist:
enter image description here



But in cmd, it reports as a directory:
enter image description here



And when I try to delete, it just says "not" found, most likely because the folder it's apparently linked to doesn't exist:
enter image description here



Also, rmdir on this folder removes it's symlinked folder when it exists.




It's also worth noting that it displays this as

and not .



So at this point, I've also tried Unlocker, rebooting, and a bunch of other things. I also don't know what made this file or anything; I did scan for malware but all it found was a small Trojan that has been deleted.



Also, ATTRIB reports it not finding the file.



Any advice?
