    Re-Appearing Folders, etc. After Deletion ?


    Hello,

    Here's one I have never run across before.
    Always something new.

    I have a bunch of Folders, documents and shortcuts on Desktop that I tried to Delete.
    Put them all in the Recycle Bin.

    No longer on Desktop.
    Emptied the Recycle Bin.
    All gone from Recycle Bin; Recycle Bin is totally clean. So is Desktop.

    But after a few hours, they all reappear on Desktop !!

    What is happening, please ?
    How can I delete them "permanently" ?

    Never saw anything like this before.

    As always, thanks for help,
    Bob

    Robert, either you are a magician or your recycler needs a fixin'. Shot in the dark here, are they public folders or your account only?
