Happens sometimes but frequently enough to be a pain in the bum. I press Del or Shift + Del but the file stays there. Then when I try to delete it again, it says that I need permission from the Admin. For it to be deleted, usually I have to restart my computer
List of things I've tried:
- I have admin privileges
- Hasn't happened since I reinstalled Windows and another form of this happened in my install before the last one
- I tried
takeown
incmd
but it saysERROR: Access is denied
- The files sometimes disappear by themselves after 2 mins or so
- Refreshing the folder doesn't do anything
- Unlocker doesn't work either. It asks me if I want to delete it the next boot

Think the problem was caused by either the hard drive or Unlocker. Not sure what which but I'm leaning towards the hard drive.
I did a clean install of Windows 7 with a real format not a quick one. Afterwards, I installed everything I needed but was too lazy to install Unlocker. Now my computer's faster, more responsive, and files disappear immediately after I delete them (Or shortly after if it's a big file) either by pressing Shift + Del or just Del.
There's also no problems with repeatedly building, compiling and cleaning my programs
