Boris Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Nero Express remembers the last folder visited when adding files to a compilation.They were originally created as a database because you opted to save your settings in Nero after each burn ? - so new ones would have been be created when you chose that option again.Simple attempted fix first :) Have you tried booting in Safe Mode (hold down F8 key while booting) and then deleting them from there ?If that does not do it :( - then try this more complicated processGo to StartSearchAll files and folders. In the search pane type '*.idx' (without the quotes) and OK. When the search is complete Go to EditSelect All and then hit delete on your keyboard. Hope this solves it !
