How to clear temporary files from Upload Center

Question

I'm using Office 2013 with the Upload Center uploading files to a SharePoint.

I have one file stuck in the Center with the state "Path not found":

enter image description here

That is because while the was upload I moved/deleted it --> inconsistent state.

However I can't click on Resolve > Discard Changes:
"The action can't be completed because the file is open."

I also can't Resolve > Open to Resolve:
"File does not exist"*

I can't Resolve > Save a copy:
"File does not exist"

How do I tell Upload Center to forget all current uploads?

You try right click on the item? Have you tried to restart your computer? This would close all open file handles.
... Yes of course I tried right clicking - it is the same menu as Resolve. Also I have restarted. I'm asking about a specific location which I can clear (registry/App Settings) so that the Upload Center forgets about its uploads.

I didn't find a solution, but a workaround:

I created an empty file at exactly the same location it should have been. I synced after that and I could safely remove the file.
