Samsung "My Files" Downloads folder corrupted on non-rooted phone

On my Note 9 unrooted phone, for whatever reason, if I delete files from the **"Downloads"** section of the My Files app, these files (or references to them) aren't completely removed. A residual "0 byte" file with no name and a time date stamp of "December 31, 1969 4:00pm" is leftover. Also, these residual files can't be moved or deleted. This ***Downloads*** section seems to have a relation to the /emulated/0/Download/ folder... although, not the same thing. If I delete the *"Download"* folder, the *"Downloads"* section remains unaffected. In the Windows OS world, I would just run chkdsk to quickly fix the corrupted file indexes on the file system. However, I'm not sure what the equivalent is for an unrooted Android OS. Things I've tried: 1. Wipe the cache partition 2. Delete the /emulated/o/download folder and recreating it again. 3. Force Stopping the My Files app, clear cache, clear data. This is supposed to be similar to clearing the app cache for 'Media Storage' app on non-Samsung Android devices I **REALLY** don't want to factory reset my phone, considering how much time I spent configuring all my applications... unless I have absolutely no choice (and know for sure it would fix this issue). This issue is completely over my head. I'm hoping an Android expert will know what to do in this case without having to do a factory reset. **Maybe, I can do something via ADB shell?**
