   Do you use the "Papierkorb" / Trash Can? of Windows? And if so are the   
   settings set for all drives?   
   If so the deleted files are not really deleted but only marked as   
   deleted by Windows (so that the explorer no longer shows them) and moved   
   to the trash can where they could be "undeleted/restored" if you need   
   any of them again.   
      
   If you rightcklick on the properties of the trashcan what settings are   
   you using?
