I loaded about 100 DIGITAL photos from a trip onto my computer in order to edit them. EDITING done just fine. Now that I'm through and ready to delete them, copies are automatically made and I cannot delete the photos. Each time I attempt deletion (by any of several means) another copy of the photo is made. HELP!!What program are you using?

And why WOULD you delete them after editing?Which operating system are you using? Have you scanned for viruses and Spyware?

[glb]Flame[/glb]I have MS Windows XP and was using MS Picture It! to edit the photos. Have done it for thousands of pics w/o problem. I had made a CD of the photos (with sound) using DVD Photoplay and another CD w/o sound just for backup copies. The trouble began at some point after the CD preps. Unwanted copies appeared and when deletion is attempted, more copies are made. Wierd!And what software have you used to create CD's?What folders have they held in! Use search to find out!Give it the old college try. From a command prompt, navigate to the directory containing the files. Assuming that they all have save file extension (i.e .jpg):
ren *.jpg *.bad
del *.badI have seen this before, it was a virus.
Don't ask me which one, it was on a friends computer & I just ran all the scans and that fixed it.Thanks to all who responded. I haven't yet found the source of the problem, but finally managed to get rid of all the unwanted copies. The number of photo copies had reached >5,000!! I will run all of my virus scans in an effort to eradicate "it" if "it" is a virus.
