Cannot delete file in Windows 10

On Windows 10, there is a file [%UserProfile%\Videos\Lorem.mkv] that is less thant 9KB and I cannot delete it. The file belongs to me, I have permissions to it, there are no prompts for entering a password, etc., and ESET AV does not report any threats after scanning %UserProfile%\Videos.

I've tried deleting via these methods, with each causing Explorer/terminal freeze, or the deletion preview window to hang at 50%:

  • Explorer: Context Menu and Del
  • Terminal:cmd, powershell, and WSL

Is there any way to remove it other than a total format?
