<b><pre>We had the same problem,that's why a quick question: Do your users empty the recycle bin?</pre>in my knowledge ur systems are viruse effected, so scan ur system with latest anti virus defination file. i think it help u. any issue revert me. ************************* Are your users by any chance using mandatory profiles. If so then there files may be stored on the server. Even if the files are deleted, they will come back the next time that the user logs in. The solution is to remove the files from the server or to stop using mandatory profiles.</b>

We also have this problem – same server OS. The only solution I’ve found is for the user to log off their machine, then make the deletions from the server itself – obviously not satisfactory. I’m eager to see if someone has a suggestion. It’s not a virus issue, as far as I can tell. All workstations and servers have up-to-date definitions and are scanned regularly.

Dou you have roaming profiles enabled? If the profile is not replicated up at log off / shut down then when you log on next time you will get the files pulled back down as part of the profile.

Is offline files enabled?

With either of the above, a permission issue where the user account cannot delete files on the server could cause them to remain on the server and come back after login.
