    Desktop deleted files are indeed deleted but theirs icons are still showing on the screen


    My gf has a really bizarre bug on her windows 10. Basically when she deletes a file/folder in her desktop, the icon of the file remains appearing but not selectable like an image on top of the screen, we checked that the files indeed go to the recycle bin.

    :)

  2. Cant Delete Files From Desktop

    Well, ran into a weird bug with vista, for some reason i cant delete files from desktop, this normaly happens to .exe files, the ONLY fix seems to be to KILL explorer.exe, and delete the file, then restat explorer, anybody got any idea why this happens?

  3. Cant Delete Files From Desktop

    no x64 support, te x64 version never was made avalable.


    and yes, it says the file is in use, If I kill explorer.exe(desktop) i can use explorer to move/delete the files no problems, its a pain tho because then manytimes i gotta log out or restart to get all my stupid tray icons back(some apps dont auto recover)

    Desktop deleted files are indeed deleted but theirs icons are still showing on the screen

    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 ?.
