Deleting files on the your drive on the server

[Sergis]

Could you folks help me please.

I have a strange problem (i.e. my helpdesk collegues can't solve this for the moment) - say, I have "my drive" on W2K server and I need to remove a number of files.
So, after selecting and deleting them, everything is OK till the end of the working day. I swith off the box. The next morning all those "deleted" files are back on my drive!
And nothing could remove them permanently.

I would appreciate any suggestion.

Regards

Sergis

Strange indeed.
Can you modify a file there? Next day will you have the modyfied one? (this to be sure that there is no backup/restore procedure during night).
Is it that share configured for offline access? (maybe the files are in your computer, or another one computer, and synchronizing you will have them back).

Yes, I can easily modify modify these files.
Irrespective of this they are still re-appearing.

But next day will you have the modified one?? Or what you just modified previous day will be lost next day? Gia Betiu

You might take a look at what files and what directory they are. Some programs require/want certain files and re-create them if they are not there. What if you add an unrelated file into that directory? Are all of the files in this directory being deleted or just some? Might try taking ownership and removing rights for everyone else, including the domain admins. but beware: it might be a 'critical' application re-writting them each day.
