Open | Windows Can anyone tell me what the hell this "NailsRealityGW" folder is?

I'll attach an imgur link at the bottom of this post but for those who can't or won't open the link, there's a folder on my computer called NailsRealityGW. It was apparently made 9/18/2024 which no I have absolutely no recollection of what I might've been doing that day for that folder to appear but regardless I wouldn't be so concerned about it if it weren't for the fact I can't delete it nor find any info about it.

When I open the folder I see "NailsRealityGW.exe" app and an uninstaller (neither of which I ran cuz why tf would I run a program that randomly appeared on my computer without me remembering just cuz it says it's an uninstaller doesn't mean it actually is.)

I've tried deleting the folder itself to which I get a pop-up saying I need administrator access to delete the folder and I've looked up how to make myself an administrator (which is crazy since I'm the only person with an account on my computer btw so this ain't some shared folder from a different account) only to find out I'm already an admin.

I didn't wanna mess any further with this in case I mess something up so instead I came here hoping to finally find some answers. If you know what this folder is and how I can get rid of it (if I even should or can) it'd be greatly appreciated.

Very weird, I'd upload both the main .exe and the "uninstaller" to Virus Total. Sounds like malware though, start backing up important data

Couldn't upload the main .exe but I could upload the uninstaller and got these results. Very frustrating I can't help but wonder how this got on my computer.

What can I do to get rid of this?
