Folders not getting deleted

[rakesh14021983]

Hi everyone..

I have a couple of folders on my desktop (2 torrents i had downloaded ages back).

Problem is everytime i delete them they reappear when i restart my pc. This happens with some other files on my desktop too...

Any ideas?

There may be malware in your computer which tries to create these folders even after deletion. Scan with a antimalware such as MalwareBytes' Antimalware!

You could also try cleaning the registry with programs such as Tune Up Utilities because registry errors also might cause it.

And try the trick below too
There must be something in those files?? Right click on them and go to sharing & security section. Then, assign yourself aal the rights, and you are done. (probably)

This happened to me yesterday too..simply I went to safe mode and deleted it. Try it out.

Use "Unlocker"

unlocker doesn't work everytime.
