Windows Vista Problem

[Musiclover08]

Hi all

Hoping you can help me here, this is my problem

I wanted to find all the pictures that were on my laptop so I decided to start a search for all my pictures. I placed a dot in the search box so that all picture files can be displayed and it started displaying files that I had deleted. Clicking on them brings about a message that the file cannot be located (as to be expected) and pressing delete brings the message that the file is no longer there (again, as to be expected) but with every search, they are always there. Is there anyway to permanently delete them so that they don't show up in the search? I'm running Windows Vista Business.

Thanks in advance

A picture speaks a thousand words...so try take a screenshot of what's happening.

I don't use Vista for my own reasons, but are you sure it's finding where the pictures used to be and not something like a reference to them in recently used documents? Sorry if it's a silly question but I have no idea how good you are with PCs.

Have you emptied your recycle bin?

Hi,

I think what's happened is that the search feature is getting it's results from the list of indexed files. If you go to control panel, make sure you're in classic view, and open up indexing options. Click on the advanced button near the bottom, and click on rebuild in the troubleshooting section. Also, you might need to empty your recycle bin.

Hope this helps
