I tried to delete these two files but they keep reappearing even after I had force deleted them. Tried a lot of things, but nothing works, these aliases keep appearing, and this is a true waste of storage. I already deleted the original file, and just backed up my files with time machine today, so can someone please help me with a solution?

OK - this is going to sound to stupidly easy, you won't believe it. I have had the same issue - kept deleting, and the files (zero bytes) would keep bouncing back. I tried everything - rebooting, safe mode, Terminal deletes - nada.
Then I thought I would try something ridiculously basic. I put a new folder on the desktop, put some "stuff" in it that I didn't need, then dragged the files (6 of them) out of the trash into this new folder. I then deleted the folder, and then the trash. It's been half an hour, and they haven't bounced back!!!
Good luck - hope this works for you.
