A problem with a CF card

I was putting some pics on my CompactFlash card and I had to rewrite some other pics, and windows gave me an error. Now there is one 0kb file that always reappears after I delete it. Anyone knows how to fix this issue?

Is it a folder or a file?
What's the filename?
You're sure it's not being created by the device it's pluged into (ie: Camera)?

Might just be an index or a log file...If it's not messing anything up don't worry about it!

Well, you said there was
one file that kept reappearing. So, is it the same file or not? If it is, the filename might be important.

I renamed it to "wtf" and removed the extension. Then I deleted it. It reappeared as "wtf" when I opened the folder again. I've formatted the card now so its fine.
