can't find items listed in a search

I am using XP SP3.0 and I performed a Search, but then could not find in

Windows Explorer all of the items listed in the Search. I already "Show

hidden files and folders" in all folders. I am the Owner and Administrator

of this computer. How can I find and delete these files?

 

In addition, I cannot delete some files from a program I no longer subscribe

to/use. I get the error, "Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full

or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." How can I

delete these?

RE: can't find items listed in a search

 

Hi.If you see the items in the search box.Right click on the file you

want.when you right click you will see open containing folder.Click on that

it will bring you to where the folder is stored.If you want to delete these

files right click then delete.Also if you type the name of the program you

want to get rid of.Delete it from the search box that should get rid of

it.Some programs can be a pain.Hope this helps.TERRY.
