They are still included in the Search index.
To refresh the index, go to Start - Control Panel - Indexing Options - Advanced - Rebuild this will take a while.... or just wait, and the index will rebuild itself, and the entries for these deleted files will go away. -- Vista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "RAUL" wrote in message ...

Hi, Raul.
As Dave says, it may take a few days for Search to update the Index, because it works only in the background so that it doesn't interfere with work you are trying to get done in the foreground. If you are careful to shut down the computer as soon as you are finished for the day, it may not get enough background time for several days. Try leaving the computer running overnight - or while you go to lunch. To check on progress, click Control Panel | Indexing Options. Most of the time it will report that its work is slowed due to user activity; eventually it will change to "Indexing complete". If you click Modify or Advanced and change anything, it may have to start over and rebuild the Index. (And please turn off the CAPS LOCK. It seems that you are SHOUTING at US!) RC -- R. C.
