Thank you. I gather I will need to ask the server hosting entity (who has root
access) to remove the file.
Any downsides to uploading an empty .htaccess file or a dummy file (just having
a comment and no directives)?

Not without 'write' permission, or settings within httpd.conf, no… ALSO the
following config disallows viewing:
#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
<FilesMatch "^\.([Hh][Tt]|[Dd][Ss]_[Ss])">
Require all denied
</FilesMatch>
And that’s prob why you can’t see it but CAN see the backup…
