How do I stop my computer from copying deleted photos? Every time I want to delete a photo it is there again in my pictures. What do I have to do to make this stop? I am up to over 24 copies of some of them. I won't have any hard drive left if this keeps up. I don't remember this happening before. I am sure there is a click somewhere to stop this, but I am not a computer genius. Help me Please! I have a windows XP if this helps.

Ccleaner:

Then click on any pictures you want to delete.
If it still does the copying then do this:
Reboot your computer
Press the "F8" on your keyboard keep on pressing it until you see a lot of white text with "safe mode" at the top of the list, with your arrow keys highlight "safe mode" and then enter, this will take sometime to get to the safe mode desktop so wait a little while. When the desktop appears go into your picture folder and delete them, when done restart your computer. Hopefully this will cure it.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

From another PC download and install these two programs and copy the the installed folders to a USB Stick.

Restart the Infected PC in Safe Mode and turn off System Restore and run Sophos and then run Spybot.

Download Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5.2 and install it. Update it. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Download Sophos and the latest IDE Files. Install it and extract the IDE files to the C:\SAV32CLI folder.

Copy and paste the below two lines into Notepad and save the file to the USB Stick as sophos.bat, it will scan and remove. When the Scan has finished check the log file to see what it hasn't removed. You will normally find the answer to this via Google.

===============================

CD SAV32CLI

SAV32CLI -REMOVE -P=C:\REMOVLOG.TXT

===============================

The Sophos SAV32CLI folder can be safely deleted after it is copied to USB.

Let us know how you get on.
