couple issues with browsing and deleting files

Im having a few odd issues I've never encountered and can't seem to find a solution searching the net.

issue one is if I delete a file it's still there until I refresh the page. need to mention this is only happening to pictures. not files or movies.
second issue is if I'm looking for a file to upload to flickr for example, each time I choose another picture it starts out back at the libraries folder instead of the picture's folder like it used to.

I have no idea how these settings were changed but they bug me. I don't want to have to back everything up and reinstall windows.

I have windows 7 ultimate 64 with service pack 1. everything is up to date and I dont have a virus. (sure someone is bound to ask).

For your first issue try running CCleaner as well as Defragging. For your second issue try uploading from a different web browser, and see if the problem persists.

I've noticed this too after going to Firefox 12. I realize that using a tool like CCleaner can remove the info like last folder used for these browsers - but I see this issue even during one browsing session. It is annoying.
