My Windows 7 system backup keeps trying to back up 2 non existent file and one folder. I have double checked that these files do not exist.

How does windows 7 try to backup that does not exist and then complain and fails the backup?

Here is the messages:

Backup encountered a problem while backing up file D:\Non library songs\Klub Arabia. Error:(The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)) 
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file D:\Non library songs\Klub Arabia 2. Error:(The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)) 
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file D:\Data\FRIENDS. Error:(The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))

These file/folders may have been there at some point but have since been moved.

Any idea how to solve this? Does this mean all other content has been backed up successfully?

I have windows 7 professional 64bit and I am backing up my Win7 machine to an external hard drive.
