Icons of deleted files remain until refreshed

Question

In my windows 7 64 bit laptop, every time I delete a file or a folder using the mouse, the icons of the deleted content remain visible (even though the content is actually deleted) until I press F5, which then clears off the icons. Has anyone experienced this behavior on their machines?

My laptop has all win 7 updates installed.

Answer 1

Win 7:

1. Click on your start button and search for index. You should find Indexing Options.
2. Click on Indexing Options.
3. Click The Advanced Button (Admin/elevated privileges needed)
4. Click Rebuild.

{Indexing options can also be found in Control Panel When Large or Small icons instead of Category is selected.}
