Default Deleted folders/files reappearing

So I'm on the newest AOKP (build 40) and I have an issue.. Every time I delete or move a file or folder on my external SD card, it deletes/moves the file/folder but when I reboot the phone it doesn't stay that way. I tried to do this probably 10-15 times now using Root Explorer, ES, and plugging into the computer to transfer/delete stuff, but it will not stick. Any ideas why?

Oh, if this is a known issue I apologize, but I searched and didn't come up with a thing...

does it revert back to the same location or are you just noticing it because you aren't gaining any space?

I had a similar issue when deleting files using my mac because it was saving them to a .trash folder. So even thought i deleted the file it was essentially just moving it to trash and still taking up space, i then used root explorer to delete the .trash file and that worked.

sorry if it's not the same issue just thought I'd share my experience.

Same exact location.. It's like I never deleted or moved them

Check out the cm9 nightly thread.

This is discussed in detail there.. that's why you haven't gotten a valid response
