Deleting files

[dpcott]

I have Windows XP and use MS Professional Office.

I am having a problem with deleting files. I have no problem putting them into the recycle bin, but when I delete them from there, I find that the files have been copied and are back in My Documents. I end up with File Copy 3, Copy 4, etc.,.

This is the ONLY problem that I appear to be experiencing.

Has anyone else run into this ?

Thank you for any suggestions.

This is just an educated guess here:

Open Word

Go to Tools, Options, then the SAVE tab and see if "always create backup copy" is checked. That, or other options on that tab, might be the root of the problem.
