Deleted Files and SP1

Hi,
I installed SP1 with no problems I can't really say the machine is working
better/worse, faster/slower, much the same really, but one thing I have
noticed.
I do a lot of video editing with necessarily large files as they originate
from DV camcorder tapes. These files are constantly going to and fro
external hard drives.
Before installing SP1, files that I'd deleted from the machine after
transferring them to one of the external hard drives would still appear to
be on the machine. If I did a search for .avi or .wmv for instance, these
files would appear even though they'd been deleted. If I tried to open one
it would tell me it couldn't be opened as Windows couldn't find it
(obviously). This led me to rebuilding the index every two weeks or so, a
tedious business as anyone who's done it will know, it takes a long, long
time.
After SP1 this doesn't seem to happen anymore, if I delete a file it appears
to be gone for good.
Was this one of known problems that SP1 was designed to rectify? I had tried
to find out why this was happening some time ago but I couldn't get much
information on it.
Regards,
Alan.

PS I mistakenly sent this as a reply to a query regarding DVD ROM's,
apologies.
