Deleting a document

[ManhattanRebel]

I have Windows Vista on my system. When I go to Start then type the name of
the document I'm looking for in The Start Search field, the document shows up
above the search field. I then right click it and select delete. I'm then
asked if I want it to go to the recycle bin. I indicate yes but when i go
back and search for it later it comes up again. What can I do to correct
this? or is it showing me the copy in the recycle bin?

Empty the Recycle Bin and search again. Then you will know your answer.

Alternatively, select the file in the Search Results window, right-click,
and choose Open Containing Folder. If it's the Recycle Bin, that's your
answer.

Search looks for files in the Index. As the index may become corrupted, use
Windows Explorer to check whether the file is actually still there. If it is
gone then you need to rebuild the index.

Another possibility is that the file you deleted in search was a shortcut to
the file. Check the Recycle Bin for the file type.
It is better to delete a file directly from its Windows Explorer folder.
