Hi all, i have some folders I created on my desktop (so i could transfer pics,vids, mp3s from an external drive) Now i do not wish for them to be there so i delete them and about 5secs or so they appear again? why is this?
Deleted folders, Re-appear after deletion?

Try to right click on the folder, properties, target. Perhaps if you delete the target, you may be able to delete the folder.

Did you try ccleaner? When you transferred was it from XP?
This is the obvious, did you try this?

Check to see if you have ownership and permission. Right click, properties, security. Check for permission and then go to advanced>owner

Wish you luck. I am calling it quits for the night. I will check any of your posts tomorrow, if someone else does not come along sooner. Night
