Windows Defender bugging me about PUA that doesn't exist

I recently downloaded some files I made from OneDrive for Computer Science Homework, and Windows Defender was telling me some were trojans and PUAs, even though I'm sure they aren't. I was able to solve most of my problems, I had to make exceptions for a folder I have in OneDrive and for the OneDriveTemp folder

However, one problem hasn't gone away. Windows defender keeps telling me that it's found a PUA in the OneDriveTemp folder. When I look into the folder, the file it's mentioning isn't there. I've enabled "Show Hidden Items" and looked using WinDirStat and the Command Prompt. It simply doesn't seem to be there

I can fix it by just simply making the mystery file allowed on my device, but I'm afraid that might come back to haunt me. Is there any way I can get rid of that message for good, or is it ok to have this exception?
