Usually I delete by right clicking on the mouse and choosing the delete
option. When I delete using the keyboard as you describe, I get the message
"are you sure you want to delete (filename)?" I don't quite understand what
you mean by holding "the mouse pointer over the delete button". Anyway, I
don't see any little yellow box popping up...
Problem solved! It turns out that the problem arose when I was multiple
selecting files to delete by holding the Ctrl or Shift key while left
clicking to select the
files. The copies are created when you fail to completely release the mouse
button before you move the pointer to another file. If a group of selected
files is dragged...even the slightest bit...the next mouse click will
produce copies
of all the previously highlighted files.
Thought you would be interested. It also applies to non-Excel applictaions -
I was getting the same problem in Jasc.
Always completely release your mouse so it can eat the cheese.
