Files found on thumb drive which do not exist

[WV-Mike]

Greetings,
A search is finding 7 files which do not exist on a thumb drive.
If I highlight the file name in Everything and choose "Open Path" the files are not there. None of them.

I have restarted Everything and also rebooted and still they are coming up in a search.
I am running Win 7 Pro.

I am not sure what other info to provide which might help explain what is going on.

Are these files hidden or system files, or do they contain security settings to hide them from non-administrator or non-system users? Everything can see everything. Windows Explorer has these files hidden by default.

If you are indexing the thumb drive as a folder index in Everything:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Folders tab on the left.
• Select your thumb drive and click Rescan Now.
• Close the Options window.

If you are indexing the thumb drive as a NTFS index in Everything:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab on the left.
• Click Force Rebuild.
• Click OK.

Does the issue persist?

They are .pdf files with no special attributes.
