HI,
I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am trying
to delete some pictures from computer that is under my
documents. Every time I delete them they go in the
recycle bin, but it always makes more copys of the same
picture and puts it back into my documents. Is there a
setting or something that needs to be changed on my
computer to make it stop copying these pictures over and
over. I have about 28 copys of each picture, since it
alway copys every time I delete them. I have been trying
to get this straighten out for a while now. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Carol
 
Maybe the following will help:

It happens occasionally to most anyone who
is trying to multiple select by holding the Ctrl
or Shift key while left clicking to select the
image files.

The copies are created when you fail to
completely release the mouse button before
you move the pointer to another file. If a group
of selected files is dragged...even the slightest
bit...the next mouse click will produce copies
of all the previously highlighted files.

It's somewhat easier if you have your Folder
Options set to Single Click...this way you can
select/deselect a file with just a mouse over
and you don't have to click. For multiples you
still have to hold...Ctrl or Shift.

No click...no drag...no copy...maybe that's
your solution.

If you wish to delete all the files in a folder
you could try the following:

Go to...Edit / Select All...or type...Ctrl / A...

With all files selected...go to...File / Delete...
or press your Delete key...or...right click the
group and choose "Delete".
