Deleting an Archive

Jun 11, 2005 11:55AM PDT

This is so crazy & I hope someone can help figure this one out. I have a bunch of pictures in a .jpg format. I now want to delete them & this is what happens. First a quick flash says "Nothing To Do." Then the folder comes up that looks like it's throwing the files & you think it's deleting them. It say's "Deleting From Archive." It just keeps going & never stops. Even when I click cancel it will not stop it. I have to end it by Alt. Delete to stop it. Anyone have a clue on this problem? They were my own pictures that I scanned.

Nothing to do?

What does "Nothing to Do" mean? That doesn't sound right... Are you sure it's not a virus? o_O

I know that is a strange message & I'm sure it's not a virus.
