files removed from a folder still appears in the folder

Post by paparaz »

Hi , thanks for the great software.
I have some folder where i had videos and photos from . I moved all the mp4 to another disk but they all stil appear in the old position when i search.
if i search with win(11) they are not there. if i right click the files in everything to open path those files are not there.
uninstalled and reinstalled ..nothing.
what could it be?
and how do i force a reindexing?
thanks in advance

Thank you for your feedback angelo,

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
    -If unchecked or square-checked, Everything will likely miss changes.
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.


To force a rebuild:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Click Force Rebuild.
  • Click OK.

I moved all the mp4 to another disk
How? What program did you use to do that?

i simply did a rearch of all the mp4 in a disk, than with Flexible Renamer i added a string at the beginnig of the file name yyyymmdd_ and once i renamed them i simply selected all *.mp4 of the disk with windows explorer and move to another disk
i added the string so that so i have no duplicate files and so i know when i made those videos
I hope this was what you needed to know
ciao
