cannot delete files

[Guest]

desktop contains 3 files that were created after downloading 3 mp3 files. the
mp3 files had to have an extension (.mp3) manually put on their name before
they played. Now i have three of the same name files with just a period after
their name and they cannot be deleted.
the mp3 files deleted fine.
these 3 files have no bytes and look a little faint
How can i delete them

I did a system restore and the files were still there
I tried deleting in safe mode to no avail
i cant move them:

When I try those options the file cannot be found
The file has no byte value
I renamed "desktop" folder, created a new folder called "desktop", rebooted
and Windows now looks to the new folder and the files art gone (their still
in the renamed folder, which I cannot delete)
Bizarre!
