I've build myself a computer with complety new parts, storage too.

Now the system is about 3 months old and I have this, minor (I hope), yet annoying, little issue. On the desktop, when I delete files, shortcuts, folders and such, they reappear again after some time has passed, but those are then no longer "deletable" because they no longer exist.


Restarting the PC, restarting the explorer.exe or simply refreshing the desktop does get rid of them. As said before, I's nothing major but it does get quite annoying, especially after I've filled up the whole desktop space while working on something.


Is there a simple fix or explanation for this issue? I'd rather not set up the whole PC again because I am using it a lot currently.


Thanks in advance!
