Am using XP Professional. Norton Internet Security also installed. When I
have tried to delete old files they are instantly copied. I now have
hundreds of copies of files I dont want. Can someone please help.

Are you copying using the click and drag method in Windows? If you see
a "+" sign when you start dragging that is an indication you are in copy
mode, not move. Pressing the "Alt" key will place you in copy mode.

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.
