Re-Appearing Files
 
Sorry it's been a busy day for questions ! After deleting some files from incomplete library in LW. they (Some) re-appear set at zero,and re download when sources are found,if deleted when complete they stay deleted. I know this happens when some files are deleted from incomplete folder on Hard disc, but not from the Library ????/ some files I do want to get rid of, is the only answer to wait until enough sources are found to complete, then delete? Iv'e seen mention that LW generates copies of some files, why is this,and can function be disabled?? Can you help a puzzled newcomer please.

Well, if you delete them from your hard disk not by using LW>Library>Incomplete & highlight>delete, it is possible that they just stay in the dat/bat files.
You can delete files from the incomplete folder, but therefor LW has to be completely closed (i.e. also in the system tray).

The copies of files that LW produces comes rather from previewing incomplete files. Such file usually have a single letter in front and a long number following it before the file name.
