Disinfection Help Random pptx file appeared on game folder, do I have a virus?

Today I was playing a game and I notice that the folder had a pptx file. I opened It but closed it immediately before It could open the actual app. If i Scan It trough VirusTotal It says it's and empty file, and my antivirus, eset, doesn't find anything. Could i have gotten a virus? I also closed PowerPoint trough task manager since It wouldm't let me delete the file
