Windows Vista Ultimate 64.
I right click and hit delete on a file and I get
Item not found
This is no longer located in C:\Users\Justin\Downloads verify the items
location and try again.
The file is a MS Word docx, downloaded from my college's Blackboard
system.
I booted into safe mode (under the admin account) and ended up with the
same message.
I was told this could possible be an issue with Temporary Internet files
and IE - I use Firefox. Nonetheless, I cleared out the TIF on both
browsers and the file is still there.


You might try starting elevated Command Prompt (start as administrator) and
try deleting it. Elevated Command Prompt will sometimes allow you to delete
files you can't through the GUI, because the GUI treats files differently
depending on various settings and context.

You might also try running/scheduling a CHKDSK /F to check for file record
consistency.
