how can i get rid of this?

For some unknown reason, the folder for these pictures has started
displaying this instead of thumbnails of the pictures in it. How can I get
rid of this? Customizing the folder doesn't seem to work.

I don't even know where this image came from. It wasn't on my machine before
I upgraded.

Thanks,

Make sure explorer is set to both show hidden files & not hide protected OS
files, then check the folder for a file named 'folder.jpg', if found, delete
it.

Thanks. It also showed the album art that had somehow been moved into that
folder which was showing up, so I deleted that too.

Appreciate your help.
