I have this bug in several folders since a few days I guess....

Sometimes, random files lose their icon and the modified date is going back to somewehere in 1904. when i select the file, it disappears and appears next time i reopen the folder containing it.

i can drag it to the trash (by moving all the other stuff inside of the folder and then moving the folder with the strange files into the trash, butr for deletion i got to do some rm -R work in Terminal.

But this seems quite annoying, as it happens a lot and makes some files to be thrown away, becuase they are unusable. Does anyone know how to solve this?

I can't say I've had this problem , but try erasing your HD and then installing everything again . Of course , this is not advisable when you can't back up your files

(Just trying to help by answering)
