Bounty on a low-quality question when there is an own high-quality answer

I asked a question for a problem which was (and is) very important for me. After 6 days of the 7 days period, I found a first solution and posted a very big and detailed answer for my own question. At the time when I was writing, another user posted a two-line question which is too much to be flagged as a "Not-an-answer" but which in fact is not helpful because he just recommends to post the question on another forum.

Because the answer is from the offerer of the bounty, I cannot assign any bounty to my own high-quality answer.

Now: It's not that I want my bounty back but somehow I feel that it's wrong to give the bounty to an answer which wasn't helpful in any way.

What would you do in such case? Give the bounty or flag the answer?
