Files not refreshing after deleting them.

press F5

see this....Fix: Windows folders and files not refreshing automatically | Pete's Tech Blog

Just to note , this is a long standing bug in File explorer which goes back to
XP days. I doubt MS will ever fix it .
All solutions (30 or so) are merely a temporary fix.
I have yet to see a permanent one that could make it through an update.

Try a Clean Boot. If this works, you can keep it that way. Or you can enable one Start up item or Service at a time until Explorer stops responding, then you will know what the culprit is.

Ssamuria is right & Thomas is spot on.

I wasted months of my life chasing permanent solutions to this decades old problem.

There is no solution. The problem will come & go as it pleases.

When it happens, I press F5 until I get fed up.
Then I reboot and that normally [but not always] makes it behave itself for a while.

Do not trust anybody who claims to have a permanent solution to this problem.

I don't wish to be rude but that's rubbish that will achieve nothing more than wasting the OP's time.

I am astonished to see you suggest such a thing.
I am doubly astonished to see you suggest such a thing twice.
