Trouble with AMD ReLive's folder for this game.
Apparently the lovely little creative decision to have this game include "ver.1.22474487139..." in its title results in a folder being created when recording gameplay that Windows 10 has trouble accessing. AMD ReLive can't remedy this, so I'll just have to avoid recording this game from now on, but is there ANY way to delete the folder that got created?

Trying to delete it normally results in a popup that says "This is no longer located in (my path to my recordings). Verify the item's location and try again."

When trying to delete it with the rmdir command, it responds with "The system cannot find the file specified."

For anyone who might find this after encountering a similar problem: just don't record with any software that automatically creates a folder with the game's title as the folder's filename. Also something I learned: you CANNOT make a Steam backup of this game. If you plan to install it on a different drive or machine, you will have to redownload it, because, hey, surprise, Steam also creates a folder in which ".22474487139" is interpreted as the filename, and a backup isn't actually created. The good news, at the very least, is that these folders won't actually take up any memory, because neither your gameplay recordings nor Steam's backup files can be stored in the inaccessible folder.

My solution for getting rid of the folders? I just backed up everything on my drive elsewhere (except for Replicant), and just quick formatted the drive. Hopefully this saves someone else the hassle. And maybe Valve can convince Square to let them change the game's title on Steam in a way that DOESN'T cause problems like this.
