How do you fix duplicate files in xp home sp2
I have a client who everytime she deletes a picture or a file it creates another same picture or file in the same directory in xp home with sp2. It creates the exact duplicate in the same folder that she deleted the file. She had 700 pictures that she was trying to go through and delete. She deleted 200 and found after she deleted it she had 700 pictures again- the same ones she deleted. How do you fix this? robin -- |
