~ in filename: works for local files, but not for remote files

[Alex_Void]

There are files with a "~" (tilde) in the filename. Eg. the infamous Microsoft Office locking files

~$Team-Meeting.pptx

They contain user information about the user who has opened the corresponding file

Team-Meeting.pptx

. Some are old and distributed among many folders. I want to delete them.
So, what's wrong? If I find them via Everything

c: ~

or

c: "~"

(doesn't matter) on my local disk c:, I can open the file or the folder normally. And the context menu (right mouse click) looks like the one on Windows Explorer.
But when I do the very same search on a network drive

w: ~

or

w: "~"

I cannot open the file nor the folder. And the context menu looks poorly:

w: is being included in Everything via

Options, Indexes, Folders

and apart from that behaves normally.
Environment:
Everything v1.4.1.935 (x64)
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.648]

[void]

This usually occurs when you right click a file that no longer exists.

Please try updating your remote files from Tools -> Options -> Folders -> Remote folder -> Update Now.

If the issue persists, please check your debug output for the failure reason:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /debug

What is shown in the debug console when you right click a ~ file?

To close the debug console:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /debug
