Local computer:

  • Dell desktop
  • Windows XP
  • Named "5"

Server:

  • Windows Server 2008
  • Named "W"

Whenever I delete a file, log out, and log in, the file reappears.

The files all supposedly live on the server (e.g. "\W\Home$\zchoy\Desktop") but even when the files are deleted from the server and the local computer, they come back.

I've already tried resetting the offline files cache.

I tried deleting a file and then synchronizing with the server. The file didn't come back.

However, as mentioned earlier, the file comes back once I log out and log in.
