Question

Deleted files reappearing after Bridge restart.

Well the title says it all. I always sort my photo's in Bridge, as it's simply the fastest, way fast than Lightroom. And as I am a professional photographer, speed is important. Let's say I add 500 photo's to Bridge and start sorting, I delete(not reject) like 380 photo's, 120 should be left for the next sorting round. If I then restart Bridge, I see I have 180 photo's, 60 deleted photo's reappeared, even after emptying the Trash bin. The more photo's I have originally and the more I delete, the more reappear after restart. If I have like 80 foto's left, 8 reappear after restart, and when I have 25 photo's left, no photo's reappear after restart.

 

As you understand this is a really frustrating issue and I've been trying to deal with it for months, even a Adobe Tech Support guy took over my system for 3 hours straight and couldn't fix it, he thought it had something to do with permissions on folders, who revert after changing permissions. 

 

Any ideas? Otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to start looking for a different phorogram to use.

Is there someone who could look into this?

I've opened this topic almost a month ago and there hasn't been any activity since June 13th.

When they start to ask you about your system and dont offer real answers normally they dont know how to fix the problem. So...


For me, sometimes Bridge wont delete files properly. I usually open Photoshop and Rush with Bridge, all three program at the same time. After a while Bridge dont delete (or move) files, not matter the format. Every data is local, hard drive o ssd drive. When it happen just closing and reopening one (or all) of the three program lets Bridge do the task we expect.

I don't have other Adobe programs open, so that's not the problem..

After you do a delete, what do you see in Windows Explorer? Are the files gone?

No not all the files are gone.

And where are these files located? Local drive or network volume?
