cothran Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I have close to 60 copies of orginal entries in my documents. When I try to send these to the recycle bin, it just makes another copy in my documents. So while it goes to the recycle bin it also makes another copy in my documents. I now have all these copies and I want to get rid of them. Any advice would be helpful Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CurlingSteve Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 What file(s) specifically are you trying to delete?There are some system files that Windows demands be present.If any of these monitored files are deleted or even renamed, Windows replaces it from its backup copy.

JSKY Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Go up to the top taskbar to "Edit" scowl down to "Select All". Right Click your mouse on any highlighted entry.Then delete everything. Then go into your "recycle bin" and restore what you need to keep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Digidave Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Is it just me or does anybody else think it's rather ironic that her post came up twice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
