  1. Cannot delete an item from my desktop


    After installing an application (Tagging for Windows) which is an extension to Windows Explorer on a Win 10 a computer an icon lablled Tags is added to my desktop, which I can move about but not delete. No file corresponding to the icon appears in the c:\\Users\<UserName>\Desktop folder or in c:\\Users\Public\Desktop. Right clicking on the icon shows the options Open, Pin to Quick Access, Pin to Start and Create Shortcut. Clicking Open shows File Explore with the added options from Tagging for Windows. How can delete the Tags icon from the desktop?

    :)

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

    Outlook 2007 Deleted items


    Hi there

    @Take a guess


    on IMAP if you set in the config operations for each account you have the problems with -- Root Folder -->INBOX there should then be a deleted items folder. Restart outlook and when you delete items they should then go to the deleted items folder. Use Empty folder to purge the email.


    Outlook 2007 and 2010 will work the same

    Step 1 in account config -->change-->advanced choose the last tab and then enter INBOX (in English should be Root Folder in the menu)


    Cannot delete an item from my desktop [​IMG]


    Step 2 now do New folder on tab 3 and create Deleted Items on the server for the account


    Cannot delete an item from my desktop [​IMG]


    Step 3 move mouse to newly created folder for deleted items - your deleted items should now go into that folder after you restart Outlook. You might have to move the underlined mail etc first and then purge.

    Cheers

    Recovering a deleted email from the deleted items folder or Recycle Bin

    Thank you for the suggestion. The only message I find at the bottom of the message list in the deleted items folder is "To find older messages, use Search". My search did not work.

    Thanks.
