Deleting VTS files

VTS files are encroaching on my C drive. Every time I try to delete them I get COPIES of the files instead. Any suggestions as to how I can delete all of them?

IRA, seems there're several different types of VTS files and some CAN be real troublemakers. See what Google has to say about them @: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=VTS+files+description&btnG=Google+Search Dunno for sure, but if you don't find a better way, add/delete in safe mode comes to mind. Or a scan to see if they're trojans and if they are, A² can handle them. HTH. Ed in Texas.
