Are the files in the recycle bin? Have you tried restarting? BTW please can you keep caps lock off, sentences in all capitals can be hard to read.

You didn't tell us what version of Windows you are using, but I'll assume XP.
Open a command prompt (start - run - cmd) and type CHKDSK /F - it will probably say the drive is locked and do you want to do it on reboot - answer Y, close the window, and reboot. |

Did You COPY & Paste
or CUT & Paste.......? COPY & Paste leaves a copy of the original files in the Original location............. Just a Thought.... |
