Hi all- I noticed several posts asking about this on the questions, and problems boards. Where basically, they were deleting the files out of their shared folder, and then found them back in there at a later time.
I had this happen to me too, a couple of times with "disclaimer/beepers" that I tried to get rid of, so that they wouldnt keep going around to other users. I deleted them by sending them to the recycle bin, and then found that they had wormed their way back into the shared folder.
Here's three things that I have found that keep them from coming back into the shared folder.
A) Immediately empty the recycle bin after deleting them. (Doesnt always work)
B.) Using a file shredder program on them (Not everybody has one of those tho)
C) Holding down the [shift] key while pressing [delete] to get rid of them. This bypasses the recycle bin, and just allocates the filespace as writeable disk space again. <- this one seems to work every time for me, since I havent had any of them pop back up, when I've deleted them using this method.
Hopefully, this helps :D
