Why does VW show deleted files?

On Windows 7, after I deleted a directory from “Program Files (x86)\MyStuff”, the file browser

still shows the directory. If I create a Filename and send #exists, it returns true.

What is going on??

Re: Why does VW show deleted files?

All the time?? I mean
- every time?
- forever after until you
    - restart the image?
    - get a new Filename?

I assume you are deleting files in the directory first?

I had this problem, but only sometimes -- a simple test worked, but a looping test sometimes failed.
My problem was I could never figure you what the "sometimes" was.

There was a thread about this a while back, started by me.
   subject was: Filename delete problem? maybe? ...

We have a modified VM and it looks like this only happens under our VM.

Re: Why does VW show deleted files?

Although I do not remember all the details right now, there's something
about file system redirection that might be related... if you're running
a 32 bit VM on a 64 bit Windows, you might want to check what Windows is
doing when you open / list directories and such.
