It does sound odd. 

Which version of Windows are you using?

Have you successfully copied files to this folder before?

Can you still print anything?

In Windows Explorer, if you click on the 'Edit' menu, is there an
'Undo xxxx' menu entry (where xxxx = 'delete' or 'rename' )? If so, it
might be worth selecting that entry then refreshing your view of the
C:\WINDOWS folder by using the F5 key.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
