I am doing a lot of clearing out of duplicate files, and I am
constantly getting the message that access is denied because the
folder is in use by another application. I have to reboot to delete,
rename or move.

And I mean constantly. After freshly rebooting all I have to do is
open a folder to view it contents in order for that folder to be
declared to be in use by some application.

There is also a lot of other mysterious activity. E.g. if I create a
New Folder it sometimes will not appear where it should. If I reboot
and go back, the New Folder will be there. Alternatively it might
appear in the explorer window OK, but if I try and rename it I will
be told it can't be accessed. That mysterious other application
again. Another reboot.

A folder has just disappeared before my eyes. I opened to view the
contents, which were all there, and I tried to paste a file into it.
At that point I got a message to the effect that the folder I was
pasting into could not be located, and that it might have been moved.
The next time I went back the folder had disappeared, and it hasn't
reappeared anywhere else.
