Unknown files
« on: October 11, 2007, 10:51:43 PM »
Having a little problem here. To make it short; I deleted some files and they still show up when I search my computer. I know they're deleted but is there anyway I could make them not show up during a search?

If they show up, they are not deleted.
What kind of files are they? Why did you delete them?
What Windows version?

Alright well when I try to open the file location it says its still in the hard drive. Am I having hard drive troubles? They're mpg files and I'm using vista  :-\.

    What happens if you delete the files found during the search?

    I think I know what kind of mpg files he's talking about...

    I wonder if they are in the the Recycle Bin?
