Jawloms Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Morning all, I have a file on one of my servers which someone created this morning and now doesn't want. She can't delete it yet she made it. If I look at it on the server itself as a domain admin it says it is unable to display current owner, and I can't change the owner or the file permissions on it. If I delete it on the server then the file disappears from the screen, but if you press F5 to refresh it re-appears. Any thoughts please? Thank you Stuart P.S. I have Googled and drawn a blank....
Jawloms Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Nevermind! I just renamed the folder that the file was in and it has now disappeared completely. Weird....
DavR Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I sometimes get that if the file has been used (upload, downloaded, whatever) in Internet Explorer. You delete the file, but some open file handle from IE keeps a placeholder of the file there. Close IE, and the file disappears. Might not be what your seeing, but thought I'd throw that in! 1
