Re: double copy of file being deleted

hi Jigar

Thanks for your help, but as an almost totally illiterate computer user, all
I want is to be able to delete without all the intricacies of technical
bull..........t which Microsoft heap on us.
If something says " delete" that is what I expect to happen, not 9 x double
up of the original!!!! cheers
