It should drop out of the index after a few days depending on how many files you have indexed and how much idle time the computer has.Of course, if you have shut indexing off, it will be there forever. But it in not a file on your machine, it is entry in an index to a file that was once on your machine. Forget it for a week and search again. It will likely be gone from the search, too. Good luck. |
