Vista - File/folder search

I performed a "search" for a portion of a name of an encryption program that
we deleted from our computer because it didn't appear to be fully compatible
with vista, even tho the creators said it was (they did admit tho that they
didn't test it)...the "search" turned up 335 items, most of which were "image
files". We cannot delete the thumbnails because it says the file or folder
has been deleted. These items came up as search results in indexed
locations. we tried to go to the location and delete that way with no luck
either.............HELP!!!!

This must be more of the mystery that surrounds Vista... I look forward to
the answer to Lori's dilema.

Help with what? Your post is confusing.
You searched for a program you had uninstalled? Did you find it?
What were these 355 items? Were they part of the program?

If you found thumbnails of images that have been deleted, then the thumbnail
database can be refreshed.
The easiest way to do that is to run the Disk Cleanup.
Start - Computer
right-click on C:, and select Properties
click on Disk Cleanup - Files from all users
make sure Thumbnails is checked.... you can uncheck the others if you don't
want to delete them now.
ok

I suspect I have the same problem. I deleted a series of files recently.
Using the search feature, I found that the deleted files appeared inthe list
and when I try to selete them they will not delete since they are not there
yet they are still listed and I would like for them to not list...

Hi, glesiafc.

Have you given Indexing Options enough time? IO works only in the
background so as not to interfere with "live" activities, so it might take a
day or two to rebuild the index and delete references to deleted files. If
those files are still found next week, please post back.

Your problem may be the same as Lori's - or maybe not.
