it looks like the system is not updating the folder view
you can run sfc, or even a repair install :

I assume this is Windows 7 since it is in the Windows 7 area.

In the earlier versions of windows this doesn't happen since they have a different mechanism to update the UI. But in win 7 they changed the mechanism of it and that gives an unnecessary complicated situation. You can call it as a Win 7 bug but Win 7 will reject it as "By design".

What actually happen is the file is deleted but the UI didn't get updated. So if u refresh the window you might see they are disappeared. Whether it happens or not the files are deleted and don't waste your time on that.
Disable Client for Microsoft Networks in the Local Area Connection properties - this helps in some cases.

I tried unchecking client for microsoft network it did not do anything the deleted picture remained in folder it did not go away until close and reopen folder
If you open them before close will it open?
i am not sure i understand your comment.open them???? i can open the pictures if thats what you mean it is the deleting that does not take place immediately  they stay there but rather when i close the folder and reopen it then they are gone they are the pictures!!!

Sorry for late reply.
What I meant is exactly what nobus has pointed out.
Why I asked the question is if you can open them then there is an actual problem.
Now I think you understand it better.
