    Does deleting files from google desktop also delete them from other files (ie word, etc.)?

    Yes, What about for a Mac? I tried to get into the folder and it says "could not be opened because you do not have sufficient privileges." I am logged in as Administrator and the files (index) does belong to me. What now?

    I have followed the above, and deleted all fh1, ch1 etc files, plus deleted a number of indexes as well. Are these indexes now permanently deleted? i.e. if someone goes on the PC, uninstalls google desktop and then downloads it again, will these indexes still be deleted?

    Or is the only permanent way of deleting all history to reformat the hard disk?

    it's not that simple.i get this prompt,`this file cannot be deleted because it is being used by another person or programme`.
