Windows 7, files reappear after deletion.
- by HeavyWave
I'm trying to delete some files from a folder. I've taken ownership of the files and the folder. When I delete these files Windows doesn't report any errors and deletes them. BUT, after I press F5 these files reappear again. There are no messages whatsoever, they are just undeletable.
I know login off will help, but how do I fix it without going through the pain of closing everything down?
P.S. Files disappear from the folder after aprox. 5 minutes.
Update. Turns out my version of Windows did not properly upgrade from test version, so it had some weird disk drive issues.
