Deleted Scripts Reappearing In World

DE keeps loading in old scripts that have been deleted multiple times. Scripts that were deleted months ago. What could possibly be the reason these "phantom scripts" keep loading in?

I delete them in the scripts folder, empty the recycle bin and then when I load the world, the scripts reappear, causing errors in the console.

When I go to delete them, I get a confirmation dialogue saying the option cannot be undone, but here we are, the script deletions being "undone". Its quite annoying...

 Also make sure there are no objects with those scripts attached. If you have deleted the scripts they may have a broken script reference.

Use the Desktop editor to open your world's script folder.
Close the client completely.
Delete the entire world folder(not just scripts)
Reconnect to the editor and let the world redownload the current scripts then try deleting what you don't want. If that doesn't work then submit a ticket

Apparently one of my editors made the scripts and they were attached to empty objects that were not visible in the world. Thank you so much - this was driving me crazy
