Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml found in C:\$Extend\$Deleted\0099000000001E1607EF0CDC [migrated]

I am really worried right now. I got the following message from Defender (Windows 11):

enter image description here

What I tried so far:
Actions to remove or even quarantine don't work.

Defender offline scan and Malwarebytes didn't find anything but Defender full scan brought this up again.

Now, this folder is somewhat mysterious because no official information from Microsoft seems to exist. Even with "Show Hidden items" it cannot be accessed. And with CMD in admin mode, it just states that access is denied.

My question:
Could this be a false positive? On the other hand I encounter some strange stuttering of the system which I first thought would come from the Phone Link software.

Is there anything I can try besides setting up the system new? But even then other files could be infected and it would start all over again...

Thank you
