In Reply to: Files Will Not Stay Deleted by Schokers

Even though you see the files disappear, there have been some cases of software locking (or using) the files, usually you will get a message informing you they cannot be deleted.
My first guess is that even though you see the files disappear they in fact are not, explorer just assumed they were since you gave the order, however, I guess when using some other form of exploration (like DirectoryOpus) it will still show you the files.
Furthermore, I would suggest booting in safe mode, to make sure there are no foreign programs locking your files, deleting them and see if they 'return' after reboot (in normal mode).
