If they are still there, google how to run check disk.
If all else fails, remove the entire folder. |
I used chkdsk -f, nothing wrong, I can't remove he folder, it says the folder is no longer in family/ downloads. And jon I already tried that program. this is the error and I have like 4 of these files.

| I too had this problem a while ago with Windows 7. All I could find was that Explorer doesn't refresh when the OS & applications are using a large amount of RAM, and that a reboot/safe mode didn't do shit. I have since reformatted the partition to a reiser fs, which doesn't really help you I guess.

how is it being used if it doesn't exist. anyway, I personally don't see how this is a big issue since the files don't take up any disk space and aren't causing you any harm, unless you have some kind of OCD that prevents you from functioning normally because you can't delete something. Just change the file type to hidden so you can't see it, problem solved

| if rebooting doesnt work, get unlocker and use that. I believe its vista/xp compatible so it should work on 7 too.
