    Removing deleted files names from folders


    When I transfer a file from a folder to a CD, example, after the files have been
    copied to the CD, as I do not need those files there anymore, I send them to
    the Trash bin, but somehow they remain on the same folder with 0 bytes.

    I have tried everything to make the names of those files disappear with no
    success. Disk Clean Up has failed and other programs as well.

    I have observed that this particular behaviour happens mainly with .pps files
    They remain on my PPS folder but with o bytes.

    How can I remove them from the folders?

    Lame but try SHIFT+DEL for each of the particular files - this will remove the files straight away without sending them to the Recycle Bin.

    Removing deleted files names from folders


    Many thanks for trying to help me but your suggestion of clicking on Shift+Del
    on the files name did not work. The same message I receive always turned to
    appear... "This file is no longer on this folder (sure, the file is not there but just
    the name remain there.!), try looking in another place."

    I can live with the problem but it is just a nuissance to have about
    eight files names all of them with 0 bytes.

    I would like to get rid of this nuissance but it seems there is no way.

    Thank you anyhow for trying.

    Espinoza, are you using multiple monitor configuration? Sometimes, for an unknown reason, you would need to hit Refresh in order for Windows to update the status of your folder contents (once you add/remove files). Right-click on an empty space within the problematic folder, and select Refresh. This should remove the icons of the contents which are no longer there.
