Error Message: "Could not find this item"

I downloaded a torrent file and then decided to delete it. The files are no
longer in their original place but the files are still showing up in the
search. I tried to delete them before I deleted the actual files but that
didnt work either. Every time i try to delete them it tells me " Could not
find this item" and that it no longer exists in the path..... I need help to
get rid of these useless files that keep showing up when searching for files.
If anyone can help, please do. Thanks.

Hi Jarrod,

This is usually is from the Index not having completely updated itself the search results yet since it only runs slowly in the background during low or no usage times on your computer when it is running. You can rebuild the index to force it to update quicker. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.
