Deleted files reappearing on desktop
Hello Experts!
We currently have a small annoyance where a user on Windows 7 will deleted a file such a a photo or pdf from his desktop and overnight, the file will reappear. However if I were to delete a file and either log off or reboot, the file stays gone for the time being. It will only appear back on the desktop the next day. We also run our AD from a Windows 2012 server.
The methods of deletion have included placing in the Recycling Bin and then deleting it from there and shift+deleting straight from the desktop. Also, we do not have roaming user profiles set up so that shouldn't be the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You would probably spend less time reimage the machine then trying to figure out the ghosts.
Files don't magically reappear they have to be coming from somewhere, as stated above, if it is only one user, start by creating a new profile for the user, if that fails, reimage the machine.
Total Time involved: less than 1 hour.

does that happen in other folders as well?
test it out; it can be a software that is running causing it
