Vista - Originals of deleted/renamed files persist, like zombies

Subject: Originals of deleted/renamed files persist, like zombies
I posted this in microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management this
morning but have had no replies, so I'm trying here....

I have a number of files I have deleted or renamed but the originals
all come back after restarting Windows. I'm using Vista Home Basic,
have UAC turned off and always run as Administrator. (I have off-line
drive images and critical file backups). I've Googled the problem to
death but not found this problem described elsewhere.

Any suggestions?

Have you ran a disk clean up? Tried deleting the files in Safe Mode?

Just tried it now, and ran chkdsk c: /F before restarting to Normal
mode. Makes no difference. My winlogin log follows...

Whoops! I get an error when I click on Event Viewer (Event Viewer\
"MMC has detected an error in a snap-in and will unload it", and then
"FX:{b05566ae-fe9c-4363-be05-7a4cbb7cb510} Item has already been
added. Key in dictionary: '' Key being added: ''). other sanp-ins
seem to work fine.

The files and folders I deleted in Safe mode are all still there.

I don't, I use PowerDesk, normally. I used Vista's browser just to
confirm that it, too, does not permantly delete files. Also tried
FreeCommander and Xplorer^2 with same results. I suspect it's an
underlying Vista file system management problem, not that browser.
