I have a Dell XPS with Windows Vista. I had recently uploaded pic's from my camera on the computer and try-ed to delete them from my computer and the computer said they were deleted but they are still showing up under recent pictures. How do i delete them completely from my computer?
 
Have you tried this location, C:\Users\UsernameXXXX\recent, right-click a blank area in that window, and select "Clear Recent Items List"

In C:\Users\UsernameXXXX\Searches\Recent Pictures and Videos.search-ms, see what you can do under the Search Tools tab.

Type ""recent items" in the Search Box of the Help and Support program in Vista. Do the same for "Change folder views and behavior".

Where are these undeletable photos being stored (folder location) on your machine? Are they actual fully sized photos or thumbnails of photos?
