That trick was used a lot by criminals trafficking in illicit pornography. That trick also works with partitioning (the ghost partition is hidden from the os)
If it was created by some one else you don’t know how many times they may have hit the space key, so its a gamble at best. Knowing it was a ghost file you can delete it if you hit the space key before the rest of the filename. Without knowing this has been done it will appear as a hidden file but you cannot delete it. (you can easily create a ghost file or ghost directory by typing the space key first before any other letter) (while the space may not show on the screen it is still a character there as far as the computer is concerned) One other thing to note If the files were set up as ghost files trying to delete them can be a headache in itself As such, if you want to delete the WindowsApps folder from a drive, you have to make sure that.
hirens bootcd can remove any passwords associated with the drive and often the files as well. UWP apps can be installed or moved to any drive on your system. If the files were password protected you may have an issue. Changing the permissions and attributes of the files and folders should allow you to read/ write copy and delete these files.
