I have a file that has recently shown up on my desktop, and I'm not sure what it is. I can't delete it, trying gives me the error message
The item “00000002” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.
I can't see the file in Terminal.app either. I've attached a screenshot showing it. Any ideas what it is and how I can get rid of it? I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
I'm not able to post the screenshot of the problem (not enough rep points yet!), but the file is called 00000002 and it has a PNG icon. I can't see it in Terminal:

If you don't have enough privileges yet, just remove the!from in front to just post a plain link... – NSGod Jul 18 '11 at 11:51ls -leO@(including the space at the end) in Terminal, then drag the file from the Desktop into the terminal window. What's the file path it pastes in, and what does ls print when you hit return? – Gordon Davisson Jul 18 '11 at 16:11
