not sure if this is the right forum lol
but the closest i could find to my problem

it's really bugging me now

i created a file to store some temp music files in because i wasn't sure if i wanted them.
well the file is now empty, but every time i delete it, about 5 mins later it comes back

if i rename it, it creates a new file with the original name

could someone help please

If the scans don't find anything turn off system restore and then delete it.

Maybe some program (WMP, Winamp, iTunes etc.) has the files still in library and while looking for them creates the folder?

Delete it, run process explorer (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysint … lorer.mspx) search the handles using the path to this folder in question. You can then see what process is creating it. This way you can know for sure.

that sounds probable, because i moved the music files to my music library and WMP does use them
