Magical Folder Returns after "rm -rf"
Hi guys,
I'm getting a very weird behavior whereby I delete a folder, and then when I reboot the computer, the folder is back again. At first I couldn't delete it at all (even with sudo rm -rf). When I logged back in as root, I was able to delete the folder. Then I restarted the computer and the folder is back. Any idea what could be causing this? It's really weird. |
Certain folders like /tmp and /dev are created by the system during boot. Others may be created by specific processes. What was the folder that you removed?
Are you doing a clean shutdown? Powering off and back on may lose some changes which were not saved to disk. |

Do you have Shadow Copies enabled on your Windows install?

Unfortunately guys - we will never get to the bottom of this.
I bought an SSD drive and replaced the old drive. Goodbye to that?! |
