@zombiejay said in Corrupted download file keeps appearing on my desktop:
I went to download a live stream from my Twitch channel and shortly afterwards I canceled the download because I didn't want to do the same anymore. But now every time that download file with the opera icon keeps appearing on my desktop even if I delete it, it comes back. I have already uninstalled Opera and cleaned all browser data from my PC and the file continues to appear. How do I stop this?!
To stop the recurring download file from appearing on your desktop after uninstalling Opera, you might need to delve a bit deeper. First, check the Task Scheduler for any lingering tasks related to Opera and remove them. Clear your PC's temporary files using the Disk Cleanup tool, as these can sometimes cause issues. Look through the startup programs list in the Task Manager and disable any that are linked to Opera. Running a full system antivirus scan can also help rule out malware causing the problem.
