| | RE: deleted files still showing under Search: Your Indexing may be stopped or other problems. Type Indexing in the Start/search chose Indexing Options it will tell you status. You can choose Advanced and then Rebuild Index to re-run it. This will take some time especially if you are using the computer for other things.

| | Re: deleted files still showing under Search: Look at where the files are located. They are probably shadow copies which you could use for recovery if needed.
