    problem with deleting files


    Hi
    I have a strange problem, when I delet files form my desktop and my documents, after restarting computer they are still there. I tried to delete them in safe mode and if I restart computer in safe mode again, I can not see the file again. but when I restart normally the files are still there.

    any help appreciated.

    Are you sure you are deleting the files and not only the shortcuts to the files?

    Can you give us the details of one or two of the files? And a screenshot of the file Properties?

    Perhaps they are being recreated after you delete them? (Hence, not when in Safe Mode.)

    Yes , I am sure. They are normal files that I saved them on the desktop or in my documents, like .PDF excel and .exe

    Try closing all open programs and then deleting the files / folders again. If this doesn't work, restart your computer and try to delete the folder again. It could be that the folder isn't deleting because another program is using a file in that folder.
