Windows 10: Files that I have deleted keep reappearing on my desktop screen?

So this problem has occurred three times over the past few weeks or so and basically all the files that I deleted reappear on my desktop. This started to happen when I did the windows 10 quality update thingy so possibly this issue has to do with that? Anyways I tried restarting my laptop/tablet (I use a surface pro 6) the first time it happened bc I thought it was just a little error. But now that it happened twice more, I'm getting a bit concerned. I deleted my files by moving them to the recycling bin and permanently deleting it by emptying the recycle bin. It's not a big problem if there's only a few files since I can just delete it again. But for me atm, absurd amounts of large .zip files and folders pictures etc that I deleted are appearing randomly and practically gives me an urge to smash my surface every time it happens. If someone has the same issue or knows a solution please lmk!

    RD /S /Q "Full Path of Folder".

    The folder should now be deleted.

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 ?.

 

Icons reappear after deleted from Desktop

When I (create a file on the desktop or save-to the desktop) then later decide to delete that file a ghost icon of that file will reappear after opening a full screen program or signing-out. The work-a-round is easy enough: Just right click and refresh the
screen and the ghost icon disappears. Scaling on W10 for me has been 125% for five years with no similar glitch as this. Someone got a cure? A regedit maybe? Please, not driver or firmware update suggestions, I have already tried those fixes.

This is happening with W10 v2004 build: 19041.508

Hopefully this will be addressed in a WU soon.
