Hi I have been noticing this problem intermittently for a while now starting with kernel 3.14. Files I delete days/weeks ago reappear mysteriously and they are fully intact. My most recent encounter is using my Xubuntu system with the following config: ext2 = /boot luks/ext4 = / (root) I deleted 4.7.6 / 4.8.0 kernels from my boot and also the /lib/modules for each and compiled and installed 4.8.4 only to notice that the files reappeared.

Did you uninstall the relevant Ubuntu package, or did you just delete the fils using rm? It could just simply be that Ubuntu was updating to a newer version of that kernel version as it was updating other packages on your system. - Ted
