Q: Unable to move, edit, or delete a file (Error Code -43)
Long time Mac user, first time poster.
Downloaded this album earlier (http://auralsects.bandcamp.com/album/s-j-r-n) don't reccomend downloading unless you want to run into the same problem I'm having.
When I attempted to unzip it I was greeted with a window stating "The application can't be found."
Attempting to move or edit the file yields the infamous Error code -43, item cannot be found.
More or less all I want to do at this point is delete the .zip, however right-clicking and moving to trash, dragging to trash, command deleting, and using the terminal to move to trash will not work, all result in the same Error code -43.
I think the problem has to do with having the 'glitch text' in the file name, but again, I can't change the file name without getting an error code.
Any help is appreciated.

Back up all data. Move all other items out of the folder that contains the problem file. Assuming it's in your Downloads folder, enter this shell command (modify as necessary):
rm Downloads/*
