Cannot find Chinese icon in My Computer so I can delete it.

[bbqbrisket]

I have this hanging icon listed in catagory "Other" in MY COMPUTER. It' labeled in Chinese letters so I have no idea what it is even though I suspect it is from a USB driver card that was installed.
Anyway, it's not needed and I cannot figure out how to remove the icon.
I have seen suggestions as follows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\.............]
but the Chinese letters don't show up when I search there.
Any ideas how I can find this and remove it?

thanks for the help.

By "icon" do you mean a shortcut? If so, try right clicking the mouse, then click Properties. See what is in the Target line.

 

[bbqbrisket]

NO, it's not a short cut.
My options are "open" ('application cannot be found") or "create a short cut"

post a screen shot of the icon with the text

 

[bbqbrisket]

OK

here ya go!

If it's shown in Computer then the system thinks it's a storage. Chances are it's from a USB key that got removed. The "Chinese" letters may just be Unicode. Explorer has a lot of old code that likes ANSI.

I would install Unlocker and try right clicking to remove it.

Ok,,,I download Unlocker and went to COMPUTER, found the chineese icon, clicked on it and 1000's of entries came listed of what seems like almost every program on my PC.
How do I go about finding it?

Possibly a threat? Have you scanned with your antivirus and antispyware programs?

It sounds like it's a "shadow" of another icon. Like it could be a messed up duplicate of drive C. Do you have a Restore Point from before the problem? It's likely something messed up in the Registry. But a registry fixer might mess up your system even more. A restore point would likely be safer.

Response 1: It's not a threat; just an annoyance.
Response 2: If I roll back to an earlier restore, I will get more than just "this" annoyance.

 

[MilesAhead]

Speaking of annoyances, try Windows Annoyances sites. Maybe someone else has had it and fixed it. It sounds like the type of problem that gets posted there.

Thanks for trying.

ok ,can you look in devices and printers and see if it is showing there,
if so right clicking it may give you an option to remove it or the shortcut.

 

[bbqbrisket]

Not there!

 

[boohbah]

ok, the reason i asked for a screenshot is because you can actually draw the characters in google translate,

here is a screenshot of what i was able to decipher though i could not find the fourth one.
hope this may shine some light on it for you,

 

[bbqbrisket]

Hmmmm???
That was very informative.
After doing a search on Baidu, I found a bunch of crap in there and deleted almost everything.
By doing that, the icon disappeared and is now replaced by a folder. So now, I have to find the folder.

 

[boohbah]

good luck with that, glad to have put you on the right path.

 

[bbqbrisket]

We're getting close Boo....
with the folder, I could then create a shortcut to the desktop and from there look into the properties and able to copy the following:
百度云管家
Now, that's what I have to find. So far, it has not come up in the registry.
Thanks
