Hi, I have windows XP on my computer and recently I decided to copy all files in 'my documents ' and 'shared documents' to two CD's just for back-up.
The files in 'my documents' were about 1100 MB and only about 250 MB in 'shared documents' To get them onto two CD's I thought I would move some files from one to the other to get under 700 MB per CD. Some error has occurred, Instead of one set of files showing up as added to the 'shared docs' there are as many as six copies of each. I thought, right , I'll just delete the copies. Can't do it. I hold down control and highlight a batch of the copies, then right click and click 'delete'. The files show up in the recycle bin but are still in the 'shared docs'. Sometimes a message comes up saying, 'cannot delete file, cannot read the source file or disk'. Even tried deleting one at a time, still the file remains and still shows up in the recycle bin. Any help would be much appreciated.
