I've been plagued for a while with hidden and undeletable files called cifsXXXX (XXXX being some 4-char hex string) on my Windows XP box's share; my only recourse to being rid of them is to reboot and then delete them.

I can't get anything but a filename from them, the file properties are mostly blank (no security tab, e.g.). It's a share that I access from my CentOS Linux box using CIFS and vim; the Linux side does show the files, but says 'No such file' whenever they're accessed (until I reboot the Windows box).


Anyway, I just did a reboot and thought to analyse the files this time. They are binary files, all starting with "b0VIM 7.0", so I reckon they're vim backup files. I don't know why they're not the usual .*.sw? format (these do exist while editing).


  I'm using the stick CentOS Vim of 7.0 (.109).  Any ideas what's going on?
