John,

   I've no idea what file system is on your computer. Here's a URL on the
same problem with Puppy Linux:

<http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/125081/why-do-deleted-files-continually-reappear>

   The web search phrase, "linux file reappears after deletion" returns many
hits (including some for windoze.)
