    Deleted files still show in windows explorer in windows 7

    Hello, I have a very annoying little problem that I have had in the past with windows xp but never settled. So, after installing windows seven, I manually deleted the backup file from my old vista located on the second hard drive ... But the problem is that disk space does not release it while there was about 70GB. And the record is accessible at all since deleted. How to delete the files in such a way that it won't appear back again.

    Hello everyone, I am currently experiencing a very weird problem with my desktop computer which is running on windows 7. File Explorer does is up to date automatically, for example when I delete a file, the file still appears in the list until I do F5. How can I have a new browser that automatically updates? Thank you.

    I'm not sure the tip desktop.ini works, but you can always, in case of failure to copy data from one user to another user before deleting the problem (I'll tell you hows it must pass through there).
    • To rename desktop.ini, it must make it appear on the desktop.
    • Under Windows Explorer:
    • Tools
    • Folder Options
    • View tab
    • Click on 'View Files, folders and drives hidden' to enable

    It should then restart Windows.

    I have a problem with the GUI (graphical user interface )Explorer windows 2000. The menu bar has disappeared and am in the impossibility of replacing it. I suppose these manipulations be held in registry but where. Or are there other means. I would not want to reinstall the operating system this unfortunate demise. Thank you for your help.

    In this matter the best solution would be to delete the desktop.ini folder if you are not able to delete it then rename it before trying to delete it. If the problem persists still then create a new user account and delete the currnet one.
    • Adds a new one with administrator rights
    • Control Panel
    • Accounts of Use
    • manage another account
    • create a new account
    • click on 'Administrator'
