Re: Unable to remove file from desktop



Delete the file, then create a folder of exactly the same name,
including the file extension. This will not only prevent the file
from being recreated but you might get an error message
that shows you what's causing your problem.

Thanks for the advice. This didn't work. As soon as I move the folder to
its
new location, it crops up again on the desktop. Thanks for your advice
though. Anyone else got an idea?

Hi everyone,

I recently created a file on my desktop to temporarily store some
pictures i
transferred from my mobile phone via bluetooth.

Havinfg done what I wanted to do with them, I deleted the file.
However,
every time I start my computer, the file re-appears.

I have deleted it from the desktop, only to find when I view the
desktop via
windows explorer, the file is still showing. Having removed it this way
too,
all seems to be ok, until the next time I start the computer, when it
re-appears.

whilst this is not causing any problems, it would appear to be an
irritating
glitch. Can anybody shed any light on this or offer some advice?
